The Ohio State Highway Patrol will be taking part in a multi-state project focusing on I-75. Troopers will focus on speed, safety belt, and OVI enforcement. The initiative started at midnight Friday and will last until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.

Last year there were over 14,400 OVI-related crashes in Ohio, resulting in over 8,800 injuries and a little less than 400 deaths. The initiative will be high-visibility enforcement including the state police of Michigan and Kentucky.
