State Cops Issue 50 Tickets on the Sprain Parkway

Remember we told you the New York State Police were starting a speeding crackdown?

On Friday, state troopers conducted a Speed Enforcement Detail on the Sprain Brook Parkway. New York State Police began a statewide crackdown on speeding this week.

During this detail, which took place in Yonkers, 50 tickets were issued for violations including speeding, cell phone usage, and safety restraints, police said. These details will continue throughout the summer months in an effort to make the highways safe for the motoring public.
