TxDOT has issued a reminder that nearly a quarter of fatal crashes during the 2021 holiday season in Texas involved alcohol.

TEXAS — The holidays are a time to celebrate with festivities, friends and family and food, but overdoing it with alcohol and getting behind the wheel can have deadly consequences.

TxDOT is launching its “Driver Sober, No Regrets” campaign this week to remind drivers not to get behind the wheel after drinking, not just during the holidays, but throughout the year.

Wrong-way driver arrested for DUI in downtown L.A. after hitting two men, killing oneJohn Joseph Hansen Madarang was apprehended after driving his silver Lexus IS200t into two men at the corner of 9th and Olive streets. Is he out of jail yet? They must not have been cops. IDK why but I really believed with the popularity and ease of hiring rideshare that DUI and violent DUI's would become a thing of the past. Sad to think a $10 ride home could have saved 3 lives.......
