The number of Missourians killed in alcohol-related crashes ranks in the top third of states. In 2005, 515 people died in those crashes in 2005, and there were 500 fatalities in 2006.
With all the seasonal celebrations, law enforcement officers stress the importance of a designated driver.
“The best way is, if you're going to drink, whether it's one drink or two drinks or whatever, don't drive. Then there's no question at all whether you're going to get arrested for DWI or possibly kill yourself or someone else,” said Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper Sgt. Dan Bracker.
If you need a designated driver this holiday season, KY3 and Yellow Cab have partnered up with "One for the Road." The program offers you a free ride home from some establishments in Springfield. A customer just has to ask a server to get a ride.
