N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol will be bringing alcohol saturation patrols to the southeast region this weekend.

According to the NDHP, troopers will conduct patrols this Friday and Saturday in Cass, Barnes, and Stutsman counties. In 2016, nearly half of all North Dakota traffic fatalities were alcohol related.

The Highway Patrol uses these saturation patrols to deter drinking and driving, reducing the occurrence of alcohol-related crashes, injuries, and deaths.
