  • In just two hours, state troopers stopped more than 120 cars.
  • About 30,000 crashes occurred in Maryland last year because drivers were distracted, police said. Every second with your eyes off the road counts. If you look at your cellphone for five seconds going 55 mph, you travel the distance of a football field, Capt. Dan Pickett said.
