If you look forward to Labor Day Weekend, you're certainly in the majority. However, the Missouri Highway Patrol issued a grim warning about the upcoming holiday weekend and how to avoid catastrophe.

It's hard to believe that we're so far through the summer months that Missouri is within a couple of weeks of back-to-school activities. That's one reason why the Missouri Highway Patrol has issued some stern reminders about the best ways to keep your kids safe and the "most dangerous hour" during that time.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol wants the upcoming 4th of July holiday to be a happy and safe one, but that hope comes with some stern warnings about what has happened in past years and what potentially can happen this year.
