Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer, Troop D, Springfield, announces that sometime during the month of April 2017, Troop D will conduct a DWI checkpoint and DWI saturations in Jasper and Greene counties, respectively. The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators. The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to more than 22 percent of all Missouri fatal traffic crashes (preliminary 2016 statistics). That’s why the Missouri State Highway Patrol will join other Missouri law enforcement agencies to crack down on impaired driving throughout the month of April.
“Driving drunk is simply not worth all the consequences,” stated Captain Villanueva. “Our message is simple and unwavering: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” To report a suspected intoxicated driver, dial 9-1-1 or *55 on your cell phone.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”
