It's just about time to hit the road for Thanksgiving and state police are warning driver's to buckle up as they hit the roads.

In 2010, seven people died in the Natural State over the Thanksgiving holiday.

More than half of those people were not wearing their seats belts.

This year several law enforcement agencies are partnering up to patrol the streets, and will be looking for people who don't buckle in.

Officers warn, save yourself a ticket and maybe even save your life, buckle up.
