There will be a multistate emphasis this weekend in honor of fallen Trooper Christopher Gadd #927, who was killed after being struck by an impaired driver on March 2, 2024. Before the incident, he messaged his detachment that he would meet up with them after "One More Stop."

Happy first day of fall!

Shorter daylight hours, foggy mornings, and changing weather can all create challenges. Slow down, increase your following distance in adverse conditions, stay alert, buckle up, and make sure your wipers, washer fluid, and tires are ready for the season.

In the European Union, Sweden and Denmark had the lowest road death rates in the EU in 2024 (20 and 24 deaths per million, respectively). EU countries with the highest rates were Bulgaria (74) and Romania (78).

Washington state had 88.5 road deaths per million residents in 2024.

🚔 It was a busy Labor Day weekend for VPD officers, including several DUI arrests where children were also in the vehicle. 👎

On Friday, Officer Miller stopped a driver near Main Street and E 37th Street after noticing the vehicle had tabs that expired in May 2020.

During the traffic stop, Officer Miller noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. The suspect shared he had consumed a few Pacifico beers about 20 minutes earlier.

He declined to perform field sobriety tests and refused a preliminary breath test at the scene, and a family friend arrived to pick up his daughter. He was taken to the precinct, where he provided breath samples nearly two times the legal limit.

The suspect was booked into the Clark County Jail on the following charges:

🔹 Driving Under the Influence
🔹 Reckless Endangerment
🔹 Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License
🔹 Ignition Interlock Violation

If you’ve been drinking, never get behind the wheel. Call a sober friend or use a rideshare service.

As Labor Day weekend approaches, remind yourself that even a small amount of alcohol can affect driving ability. 🍺❌🚗

About one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the U.S. involve drunk drivers (with BACs at or above .08 g/dL).

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over 🚨

Crash Leads to DUI Arrest After Driver Found More Than Twice the Legal Limit

At approximately 6:25 p.m. on Aug. 27, Redmond Police officers responded to a single vehicle collision after a vehicle crashed into a crosswalk median near 148th Ave NE and NE 87th Street.

The driver was arrested for DUI after officers observed signs of impairment. His blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit.
Thankfully, no other vehicles were involved and no one else was injured.

Please make a plan before you drink. If you’ve been drinking or using any substance that impairs your ability to drive, don’t get behind the wheel. Use a rideshare, call a sober friend or family member, or find another safe way home.

One decision can change a life. Drive sober.

@an_anna_liszt @thehoffather Fact check: There were 297 non-motorists (pedestrians and bicyclists) in WA killed in traffic crashes over 10 years who had methamphetamine and/or fentanyl detected in their systems. This represents 21% of the 1,399 non-motorists killed. (WTSC Dashboards)

Detectives need information on a death investigation.

[Target Zero @targetzero]

Automated speed safety cameras are an effective deterrent that reduces roadway speeds, which reduces the risk of a serious crash. It is important for drivers to be aware. They will see notices of camera enforcement as a reminder to follow the local speed limit.

Stay safe this summer. Plan a sober ride.

Washington agencies use innovative approaches to educate the public about impaired driving https://t.co/KXCseSYuxf

@MartijnFSnl We have driven on that road. Watching your speed means obeying the posted speed and the advisory speeds for curves. There are many signs along this route with posted advisory speeds.

[Target Zero @targetzero]

Add this to your list of reasons to drive safely and watch your speed on steep, winding roads: You can prevent a wildfire.
