The Ohio Highway Patrol reports this past weekend was the deadliest in the Buckeye State since 2002. Sgt. Toby Smith of the Ohio Highway Patrol says there was an increase in the number of arrests of drivers believed to be impaired by substances.
Troopers also arrested 734 people for operating vehicles while under the influence....that's about thirty more people than were arrested last Labor Day Holiday. Smith says 24 people were killed in crashes on Ohio's roads from Friday to Monday. He says last year, 14 were killed during that same period. |
