Oregon State Police (OSP), Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), and law enforcement agencies in Oregon are continuing a nationwide effort to prevent traffic crashes by targeting impaired drivers during the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend. The nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign aims to keep those driving, riding or walking on or along our roadways safe. Again this Labor Day holiday weekend – the second deadliest major holiday period for highway travelers in Oregon – OSP will put all available sworn personnel assigned to field operations on the road Friday, August 29, to supplement local highway safety efforts. OSP Field Operations Major Travis Hampton said troopers will target crash-causing violations, many of which have a nexus to fatal and serious injury collisions. Last year during the 2012 Labor Holiday 78-hour reporting period, two people died in traffic crashes on Oregon roads and OSP troopers made 54 DUII arrests. This year’s reporting period starts 6:00 p.m., Friday, August 29, and concludes Monday, 11:59 p.m., September 1.
