       (AP) - Vermont State Police say the state's had 36 highway fatalities in 31 crashes so far this year, roughly double the number up to this time last year.

      Hoping to reverse that pattern, police are planning checkpoints across the state during the Fourth of July holiday week, July 2-8.

      Troopers will also be aggressively patrolling and enforcing motor vehicle laws that deal with aggressive driving, speeding and seatbelt use in high crash areas. The roadblocks will check for impaired drivers.
