Summer Drunk Driving Campaign Begins

Now that summer is here, police departments across the state are kicking off a new campaign to keep the roads safe.

Michigan State Police and the director of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning will be announcing the latest drunk driving enforcement effort as part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

The Fourth of July holiday period last year ended with 12 people dead as a result of traffic accidents.

Nearly 300 drivers were arrested for drunk driving.

The campaign will include local, county and state law enforcement officers.
