I-40 challenge The Tennessee Highway Patrol announced the third annual "Interstate 40 Challenge: The Drive to Zero Fatalities" traffic safety initiative scheduled for the Thanksgiving holiday period. The Interstate 40 Challenge will consist of increased patrols along the I-40 corridor that stretches from North Carolina to California. The challenge will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 25 and Sunday, Nov. 29, the busiest travel days of the holiday. Last year on Interstate 40, Tennessee state troopers investigated 16 crashes on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and 40 wrecks on the Sunday after the holiday. None of those crashes was alcohol-related. Tennessee state troopers will be assigned every 20 miles along I-40, on Wednesday and Sunday. Additionally there will be an increased presence on all major interstates throughout Tennessee. During last year's 120 hour holiday period, there were seven people killed in seven fatal crashes in Tennessee. Five of those crashes involved an alcohol impaired driver, and five of the vehicular deaths were unrestrained.
