Raleigh, NC -- The North Carolina Highway Patrol wants to make sure drivers arrive at Independence Day celebrations alive. So troops are planning to beef up their patrols on major highways.

State Troopers will be cracking down on speeders and aggressive drivers during the holiday as well as increasing patrols on all interstates and major four lane highways during the holiday.
 
Last year in North Carolina, six people died and 302 were injured in 438 collisions during the July 4th holiday period.
