Tulsa – The State of Oklahoma has identified impaired driving as one of it’s top traffic safety concerns. This is due to an average of 4,500 alcohol-related crashes and 220 alcohol-related fatalities annually. Officials are developing statewide goals that represent verifiable improvements with impaired driving and incorporate all facets of the impaired driving system.
As part of a statewide enforcement effort to ramp-up for the New Years Eve holiday, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and many law enforcement agencies from Tulsa Police, Tulsa County, Catoosa, Rogers County, and Wagoner Counties will be operating a New Year’s Eve ENDUI Special Emphasis on Wednesday, Dec 31st, from 8:00 PM until 12:00 AM. We plan to hold a Sobriety Checkpoint at 193rd E. Ave & Admiral.
A press conference will be held at ODOT (4002 North Mingo Valley Express Way, Tulsa at 10:00 AM) on (12/30). All members of the media are welcome and encouraged to attend. The ENDUI van will be on site for pictures and tour of the inside of the van.
