Of the 13 people killed within the CHP's jurisdiction, eight were not wearing seat belts. The remaining three deaths were investigated by city police departments.

There were far fewer drunken driving arrests so far this holiday. The CHP says 824 drivers were arrested for DUI this year, down from 1,303 arrests during a similar period last year.
