Throughout Ohio, state troopers initiated 213 traffic stops for suspected impaired driving during the Christmas holiday, according to a spokesperson from the health district.
Year to date in Clark County, 412 impaired driving stops have been logged by OSHP and troopers have investigated 165-OVI-related crashes, the spokesperson said.
As the New Year approaches, law enforcement plans to keep a close eye on the roads to keep drivers safe, the spokesperson said.
If you don’t have someone sober to get you home safely, use rideshare services.
“Your choices can make a big difference and save lives,” the spokesperson said.
If you see impaired drivers or drug activity, use #677 to report it.
