TWO people have died and several drivers have been clocked doing more than 165km/h this Easter long weekend.
Operation Crossroads will be conducted until midnight tonight, but so far almost 4800 drivers have been issued fines from speed cameras alone, according to Acting Assistant Commissioner Fred Gere.
"Reports of vehicle crashes continue to occur and we again remind drivers that speed, failure to wear seatbelts, drink driving, being distracted and driving fatigued still remain the most prominent causal factors for crashes," he said.
The road toll climbed to two this morning after a 21-year-old male pedestrian was hit by a truck on the Mitchell Freeway.
His death follows that of an elderly man on Thursday, who died after he was involved in a caravan rollover in the Great Southern.
As a result of the Operation Crossroads traffic blitz:
- Speed cameras deployed throughout the state have seen 197,023 vehicles pass through them with 4,781 drivers to be infringed for speeding.
- Seven motorists will be charged with hooning and have their vehicle impounded for 28 days after being caught on camera.
-A speed camera in the Mid West Gascoyne detected 12,778 vehicles. 754 will be fined, indicating 5.9 per cent or one in 17 of those motorists was speeding.
-Officers working in regional WA have detected motorists travelling in excess of 165kph.
-The breath and drug test buses have conducted almost 43,000 tests, with 110 motorists charged with drink driving offences, 253 motorists charged with driving whilst disqualified and 66 vehicles impounded.
