The Friday, April 16th checkpoint saw 105 vehicles in total in two hours. Two drivers were evaluated for impairment, no arrests were made. Saturation patrols resulted in three arrests for driving under the influence and three arrests for drug related violations.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol is committed to taking impaired drivers and illegal drugs off of North Dakota roadways as we work together to reach Vision Zero: zero fatalities and serious crashes on North Dakota roadways.

So far in 2021 nine of the twenty-two traffic fatalities occurred during alcohol related crashes. Alcohol and drug-related crashes are preventable; every driver needs to consistently make the choice to always drive sober or to designate a sober driver.
