Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor GLENDORA - The Glendora Police Department will conduct DUI saturation patrols tonight, October 31.
Halloween night sees a slight increase in DUI-related collisions. From 2012 to 2016, authorities reported 168 drunk driving deaths and 44 percent of all people killed in crashes on Halloween night involved a drunk driver, according to the National Highway Safety Administration. Drivers age 21 to 34 pose a greater risk, accounting for almost half of all DUI deaths on Halloween in 2016, the NHTSA said. Glendora Police suggest drivers should avoid residential areas where trick-or-treaters are likely to be and to obey stop signs and traffic signals. Costumed trick-or-treaters may be difficult to see at night and drivers may have difficulty seeing them when they walk across the street. Authorities strongly recommend either arraigning rideshare transportation or a designated driver if you plan on drinking. Parents should plan a trick-or-treating route ahead of time, plan for more visible costumes that can be seen at night and to carry a flashlight.
