"Marion County Traffic Safety Partnership and the Indiana DUI Task Force will patrol the streets this New Year’s weekend, keeping an eye out for drunk drivers.
Members from Indiana’s 35 DUI Task Forces will conduct sobriety checkpoints and DUI roving patrols across the state through New Year’s Day.
The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute’s Traffic Safety Division said a total of 135 people have died in Indiana as a result of an impaired driver in 2010. Additionally, the institute stated there were 50 alcohol-related collisions in Indiana during the Christmas and New Year’s holiday period.
“Impaired driving is a serious and deadly crime,” said Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) Traffic Safety Division Director, Ryan Klitzsch, in a press release “It’s also 100 percent preventable.”
According to the institute’s research, nearly 25 percent of Indiana’s fatal collisions in 2010 were alcohol-related."
