    “Based on provisional data, there were 1,560 OVI-related serious injury and fatal crashes in 2023 in Ohio,” Lt. Brandon Spalding, commander of the Marion Post, said.  “State troopers made over 15,000 OVI arrests last year in an attempt to combat these dangerous drivers.  OVI checkpoints are designed to not only deter impaired driving, but to proactively remove these dangerous drivers from our roadways.”
