DEFOREST, Wis. — With around 1.1 million Wisconsinites and more than 54 million Americans expected to travel this week for Thanksgiving, the Wisconsin State Patrol is urging drivers to take it easy on the roads.
Trooper David Yang said those hitting the highways for Turkey Day should go easy on the throttle, avoid road rage situations and check the weather along their routes before heading out.

The agency is also reminding travelers not to drink and drive.
