Labor Day weekend is one of the biggest travel weekends of the year. Indiana State Police are conducting their “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement of drunk and impaired driving now through Labor Day. Of the 898 traffic fatalities that happened last year in Indiana, 151 — or about 17 percent — were alcohol-related. David Henderson, a state police sergeant in the Jasper District says if you want to drink alcohol during the holiday weekend, then planning ahead is a big key. He says to have someone drive you home. If you can’t get a friend to give you a ride, then Henderson says you need to use a rideshare service, public transportation, or taxi.
