Labor Day weekend is often considered the unofficial start to fall.

Piatt County Sheriff Mark Vogelzang explains that his department often sees an increase in car crashes during this time of year. With the corn being very tall this time of year, there are lots of blind intersections, and we will soon see an increase in farm implements on the road for the harvest season. 

Sheriff Vogelzang reminds drivers to give themselves plenty of time to get where they're going and always remain alert while behind the wheel.
