UHP going extra mile to stop DUI drivers
"This is the big last getaway of summer for many people," said highway patrol Sgt. Ted Tingey, explaining the statewide blitz. "We just hope that people keep safety in mind."
Tingey said that the highway patrol has staged these DUI blitzes for several years over the Labor Day weekend, and has found that sending a strong message during the final holiday of the summer tends to keep people safe through the winter.
Troopers will be working overtime in several counties, including Salt Lake, Utah, Weber, Davis and Tooele. They will be looking primarily for intoxicated drivers and individuals not wearing seat belts.
