La Crosse police cracking down on texting and driving

Extra officers will be on hand five days in Oct. to enforce distracted driving

La Crosse police has begun a crackdown on distracted driving today.

A grant-fueled effort will put more patrols on the street on five days in October.  The La Crosse Police Dept. will be working in conjunction with Holmen and UW-L campus police in its enforcement effort.  

Although there’s been a significant effort recently to focus attention on texting and driving, police say distracted driving can also include activities like eating and drinking.
