TUCSON, Ariz. — Night’s not the only time drunk drivers may put you in danger. When an alleged hit and run driver hit and killed two bicyclists this weekend, Sheriff's investigators charged the driver with driving under the influence—at 9:45 in the morning.
Deputies say they found him at River Road and Alvernon—and when they did, they charged him with leaving the scene of a traffic fatality—-and with driving under the influence.Pima Sheriff’s Deputy James Allerton says, “If someone has been drinking a lot through the night, it takes a considerable amount of time to completely sober up. So someone driving, waking up maybe a couple hours later and going for a drive. They could very well still be impaired at that time.
The freshest statewide DUI figures we have are a quick snapshot of enforcement over St. Patrick Day March 16 and 17. The figures come from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. They show 254 DUI arrests for this year, 197 for the same period in 2021 and 64 for 2020.Deputy Allerton says deputies watch for impaired drivers any time of the day. And you can recognize signs an impaired driver is near you. Speeding is not always the giveaway.
