From July 1 to July 4 last year, there were 12 fatal crashes killing 13 people. According to a release from the State Highway Patrol, seven of those were OVI-related fatal crashes that killed 8 people. The Patrol will be in full force until tomorrow evening for their Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. The campaign is an effort to crack down on impaired drivers and to remove them from the roadways.

The Patrol also urges you to buckle up. You can call #677 to report impaired drivers.
