No traffic fatalities reported on NYE

Posted

On Jan. 2, Wood County Sheriff Jim Brown released the following statement regarding the designated driver program initiated by the sheriff's office over the holidays.

"I am very happy to report that during the holiday reporting period Wood County did not suffer a single traffic fatality. This first of all was by the grace of the Good Lord but our conscientious citizens, our designated driver program, and the presence of our deputies and law enforcement officers helped. I want to once again thank our designated driver volunteers for their kind contribution. Eight people were smart enough to take advantage of our offer for a safe ride home. There were three drivers that were DWI stupid and ended up as my guest as I promised. The operation was a success and I plan to continue the program for future holidays. Thanks also to all of our responsible citizens."
