Starting today, the Georgia State Patrol will be joined by other state and local agencies to begin a 90-day crackdown on speeders and intoxicated drivers. The launch of "Operation Rolling Thunder" this morning involves a rolling roadblock in Bartow County--between the Red Top Mountain exit on Interstate-75, north past the Cartersville Main street exit. There will be day and night traffic stops during the 90-day period for seat belt checks as well. The crackdown is targeted for Bartow and Paulding counties, as officials say they are two of the deadliest in the state for traffic accidents.
