Three separate crashes involved double fatalities. They occurred in Fairfax, Fauquier and Lancaster counties. Two of the highway deaths involved motorcycle operators.

State police were out in force over the holiday weekend. They arrested 110 impaired drivers and cited 7,415 speeders and 2,164 reckless drivers.
