More than 26 Nevada law enforcement agencies are joining forces between now and Jan. 2, targeting impaired drivers who not only pose threats to themselves, but passengers and other road users. 

During the past five years, an average of 300 people died in drunken driving crashes during the Christmas through New Year’s holiday period. In December 2016 alone, 781 people lost their lives in drunken driving crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.

Law enforcement reminds people that buzzed driving is drunken driving.
