Law enforcement statewide will be cracking down on impaired drivers as Thanksgiving approaches.

Drivers can expect increased patrols and sobriety checkpoints. Last year’s five-day enforcement period resulted in 283 impaired driving arrests.

This year’s ten-day enforcement period starts today, and runs through November 28th.

Of the 535 traffic deaths in Colorado this year, 169 were alcohol-related.
