HPD to Conduct Fourth of July DUI Checkpoints
- Law enforcement agencies in Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, and Colorado are intensifying DUI and boating safety enforcement through July 7 during the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
- These initiatives address previous high rates of deaths related to impaired driving and boating, featuring public awareness efforts that emphasize the risks and legal consequences of operating vehicles or watercraft while intoxicated.
- Officials urge sober drivers, seat belt use, compliance with Texas lane laws, clearing non-injury crashes from lanes, and wearing life jackets on the water to improve safety.
- Last year in Illinois, 17 fatal crashes caused 21 deaths during this holiday, including five linked to impaired drivers, while Colorado reported 28 impaired-driving deaths in July 2024.
- These efforts aim to reduce tragedies by maintaining strict traffic and boating law enforcement and promoting responsible behavior on roads and waterways through the holiday period.
