The consequences of drunk driving crashes are both real and heartbreaking. In 2024, there were 22,708 DUI-alcohol related traffic crashes in Texas, resulting in 1,034 fatalities and 2,242 serious injuries. With the holiday season upon us, we want it to be one of joy and fellowship as we gather with family and friends. Fort Worth PD would like to remind everyone that if you plan on drinking alcohol, don't get behind the wheel of a car. Instead, consider the following safe and responsible alternatives: - Designate a sober driver before you start drinking. - Use a rideshare service or taxi to get home safely. - Call a sober friend or family member for a ride. - Stay where you are until you have sobered up. Let’s do our part to contribute to safer roads this holiday season and that the holidays remain a time of happiness, not heartbreak, by committing to driving sober.
