COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Highway Patrol warns motorists not to drink and drive while out celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
According to the Patrol, 14 people in 11 fatal crashes occurred, over the last five years during the holiday. Another 137 were injured due to OVI-related crashes.
“We want all motorists to plan ahead before they start celebrating, and St. Patrick’s Day is no exception. St. Patrick’s Day is synonymous with consumption of alcohol, which makes impaired driving enforcement during the holiday a priority for our troopers,” said Colonel Richard S. Fambro.
