Law enforcement in Wise County will be stepping up its patrols on a dangerous road, in an effort to get more people to buckle up.
According to the Wise County Sheriff's Department, here's been three fatal crashes in a ten mile stretch of Route 58.
Police say none of the drivers who were killed were wearing a seat belt.
To get people to start wearing their seat belts, officers in Wise County, Coeburn, and the Virginia State Police will be conducting checkpoints.
And they will reward drivers who buckle up with gift certificates to area restaurants.
The first Operation 58 checkpoint will be held Monday at the Banner Bridge Intersection, just east of Coeburn, from 3:00 to 5:30pm.
