During the week of December 31st, the Tennessee Highway Patrol is set to implement sobriety roadside safety checkpoints in Lawrence County. This initiative comes in response to the alarming statistics surrounding impaired driving, which claims the lives of over 16,000 individuals and results in injuries to approximately 305,000 others annually across the United States.
As the New Year approaches, law enforcement officers will be particularly vigilant in their efforts to identify and apprehend impaired drivers. The designated checkpoints will be strategically located on U.S. Highway 43, specifically at the 23.4 mile marker. This proactive measure aims to enhance road safety and reduce the risks associated with driving under the influence.
