NYSP on Speed Week: Ride Along with a Trooper
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Speed Week is underway in New York, and State Police are cracking down on those speeding and aggressive drivers. News 8's Adelisa Badzic went on a ride-along with Troopers from Troop E, where they showed her how exactly they operate during this time. NYSP posted on Facebook saying they would be out in both marked and unmarked cars. They add that in 2023 alone, there were 307 fatal crashes that were speed related. Two incidents happened on Wednesday, just hours apart, one where a woman hit three NYSDOT workers. She was charged with reckless endangerment as well as DWAI. Another, where a trooper was trying to get debris out of the roadway, when his patrol car was sideswiped. Trooper Lynnea Crane expressed the importance of this week. 'We got to slow down, we need to pay attention, we can't be distracted while we're driving and heading down the roadway. This is one of those just, please pay attention,' she said. 'We want people to know we're out there. We're out there in numbers. And unfortunately, we don't want to have to enforce a law if we don't have to. Sometimes, just by us driving out and about, you see us, you slow down.' Said Crane. They hope this will 'fly the colors,' meaning if someone sees a patrol car in an area, hopefully the next time around they slow down because of their previous presence. 'The residents that live in these in-between areas, really appreciate it when we come by, they say I still live in the 30 and people are already doing 55 mph flying by my house. There's a reason those speed limits are there.' Crane added. Trooper Ryan McConnon has been with the NYSP for nine years now. 'I've sat here before and the gentleman that owns this house, has come out to me at least two or three times because he appreciates us sitting here to help slow people down.' McConnon said. Speed week in NYS goes until Sunday, June 15th. They will also be looking for distracted or impaired drivers as usual, seatbelt violations and those failing to move over for an emergency or hazard vehicle. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
