CHESTERFIELD - Chesterfield County Police have stepped up countywide traffic safety patrols in preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday and in conjunction with the national Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns.

Police remind motorists to use safe driving habits and wear seat belts every time they get behind the wheel. Also, remember that children up to age 8 must be secured in child safety seats.

Drivers who are stopped for other violations and found not to be wearing a safety belt will be ticketed. Additionally, if anyone in the vehicle under the age of 18 is not wearing a safety belt, or a child under the age of 8 is not properly secured in a child safety seat, the driver will be ticketed.

Officers will also be conducting a number of high-visibility DUI enforcement operations throughout the holidays.

Sunbury man cited

LOWER AUGUSTA TOWNSHIP - A Sunbury man who suffered minor injuries from a one-vehicle accident on Route 4017 at 7:49 a.m. Tuesday was charged with a traffic violation, according to state police at Stonington.

Trooper James Yankovich said Kim S. Walker, 57, was traveling in a 2001 Ford Ranger around a right curve along Boyer Hill Road just north of Jews Hollow Road when he lost control of the vehicle.

Walker crossed the southbound lane, left the roadway and struck a tree with the front passenger side, which caused the truck to spin 90 degrees, police said.

The vehicle came to final rest on the passenger side facing a southeast direction, police said.

Kim, who was wearing his seatbelt, was examined by Americus Ambulance at the scene and then released, police said.

The truck was towed from the scene by Aurand's Autobody, police said.
