It'll be a busy week of travel across the country and local authorities are hoping for a safe travel season.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says as college students return home, some for the first time since they left this summer, the night before Thanksgiving is the biggest party night of the year.

Chief Lowers encourages those heading out on that Wednesday night before Thanksgiving to be extra safe. If you need to have someone drive you home, please do so. Make sure someone knows where you are going that night as well.

We'll hear more from Chief Lowers later this week with more on Thanksgiving holiday safety and safety during the busy shopping day of 'black Friday'.
