Bismarck\u00a0 (NDDOT)\u00a0 Law Enforcement agencies across North Dakota will soon have extra patrols for summer H.E.A.T. (Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic) during the Click it or Ticket campaign from May 24 \u2013 June 6.<\/p>\n
The North Dakota Department of Transportation Safety Division, reports that more people have died in motor vehicle crashes in warm weather months (May through October) than cold weather months over the last five years. Failure to wear a seat belt results in more motor vehicle fatalities in North Dakota than any other factor. Seat belts save lives and are the single most effective safety device to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash.<\/p>\n
In 2020 in North Dakota, 42% of motor vehicle fatalities were not wearing their seat belts.<\/p>\n
Stutsman County Sheriff, Chad Kaiser says, \u201cBuckle up during Click it or Ticket to avoid a citation and to protect yourself in case of a crash.\u00a0 Start your summer on a high note by buckling up. Every trip. Every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Preliminary crash fatalities in 2021 are trending higher than previous years with 30 fatalities as of May 16, making this campaign a vital part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads. H.E.A.T. will take place through August to encourage everyone to wear a seat belt, use appropriate child passenger safety seats, follow all posted speed limits, and drive sober and distraction-free.<\/p>\n

Washington\u00a0 (KFGO) \u2013 A federal judge has ruled that the Dakota Access oil pipeline can continue to operate while the Army Corps of Engineers conducts an extensive environmental review.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg announced his decision Friday.<\/p>\n
Attorneys for the pipeline\u2019s Texas-based owner, Energy Transfer, argued that shuttering the pipeline would be a crushing economic blow to several entities, including North Dakota, and the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation tribe.<\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 New York Attorney General Letitia James says an ongoing investigation surrounding Gov. Andrew Cuomo will \u201cconclude when it concludes.” She said Friday that she has ignored criticism from his top aide that the probe is politically motivated. James says the ongoing investigation into whether the governor sexually harassed women is \u201cvery thorough and comprehensive.\u201d Her office is also probing whether Cuomo illegally used state resources to write and promote his COVID-19 leadership book.
