The checkpoint was conducted in partnership with Delaware State Police and local police departments as part of the state's ongoing efforts to reduce impaired driving.
Before the Fourth of July holiday, the OHS partnered with Grotto Pizza on its Alive in DE campaign to encourage drivers to arrange a sober ride before celebrating. The campaign urged people not to drive while impaired.
