(Area) Iowa State Patrol Trooper and District #4 Information Officer Shelby McCreedy says law enforcement across Iowa conducts a C.A.R.E. Lifesaver Week from December 23 to January 2. Trooper McCreedy displays an increased presence of law enforcement officers focusing on high crash areas throughout the state.
Trooper McCreedy says, unfortunately, there is an increase of impaired drivers over this same holiday period.
McCreedy says the staggering statistic nationally is one person dies in a drunk driving collision every 52-minutes.
Trooper McCreedy says that plan could include; a designated driver, an Uber, a taxi, or a hotel room. McCreedy says it doesn’t matter what an impaired person chooses to do, as long as they follow that plan.
