Memorial Day Weekend DUI Crackdown - Please Celebrate the
Holiday Responsibly, Thank a Veteran for Their Service, and
Return Home Safely to Your Family
Holiday Responsibly, Thank a Veteran for Their Service, and
Return Home Safely to Your Family
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer -- and a summer long crackdown on drunken drivers.
The Colorado State Patrol and law enforcement agencies across the state are launching a DUI crackdown
starting this weekend. They're calling the campaign the "100 Days of Heat" and they say the goal is to save lives.
Last year, 191 people were killed in Colorado in alcohol-related accidents. That was 41 percent of all traffic
deaths.
Nearly one-third of the traffic deaths involving alcohol occurred between Memorial Weekend and Labor Day.
Authorities said the good news is that alcohol-related deaths dropped 17 percent last summer from the same
period in 2008.
