The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to nearly 30 percent of all Missouri traffic fatalities. In 2011, 220 people were killed and 916 seriously injured in crashes involving an impaired driver. That's why the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office will join other Missouri law enforcement agencies to crack down on drunk driving March 16-18.
"Driving drunk is simply not worth all the consequences," stated Sheriff Brad DeLay. "Our message is simple and unwavering: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."
