During that period, troopers reported over 6,100 calls for service and 497 motorist assists.

State Police also handed out 377 speeding citations and reported over 800 other violations including unsafe lane changes, seatbelt violations and distracted driving.

There were 345 crashes including two with serious injury.

Troopers also made 30 arrests for DUI, down from the 41 they logged a year ago.
