    (WJW) – Law enforcement will be looking for impaired drivers this weekend in Northeast Ohio.

    “There were 11,324 OVI-related crashes in which 725 people were killed last year in Ohio,” said Lieutenant Jason Murfield, Mansfield Post commander. “In 2023, troopers made more than 15,000 OVI arrests 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.”

    Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol will conduct a checkpoint in Richland County Saturday evening.

    The location will be announced Saturday morning.

    OVI checkpoints are funded by federal grant money.

    OSHP encourages people to call 911 if you suspect an impaired driver.
