With the fourth of July weekend approaching, The Illinois State Police will be increasing their patrols to look for speeders, distracted drivers, and drunk drivers. ISP Captain JW Price says to have a plan before heading out.
Price says there are more fatal crashes involving alcohol or drugs at this time than any other time of year.
The ISP is encouraging you to have a designated driver, use a ride share service, or public transportation if you are going to go out and drink.
