During the week of October 11th, 2024, the Tennessee Highway Patrol is set to implement sobriety checkpoints along US Highway 43, specifically at the 2.9-mile marker in Lawrence County. This initiative aims to address the critical issue of impaired driving, which tragically results in over 16,000 fatalities and approximately 305,000 injuries annually across the United States.
At these checkpoints, law enforcement officers will assess drivers for indications of alcohol or drug impairment. The primary focus will be on identifying individuals who are operating vehicles under the influence. Additionally, troopers will take appropriate measures to address any other traffic violations they may observe, all while prioritizing the safety of every motorist on the road.
