ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Police agencies across New York State are cracking down on drunk driving for the Fourth of July holiday and long weekend. The STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign began Wednesday and runs through Sunday, July 7. Drivers can expect to see more police and DWI checkpoints on roadways throughout that time. “During the past four Independence Day weekends, 308 people were injured and 4 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes on Monroe County roadways, with many of those crashes caused by the reckless decisions of impaired drivers,” Monroe County STOP-DWI Coordinator Lindsay Tomidy said. “Any life lost is one too many." DWI vs. DUI: Is there a difference? State police issued just under 13,000 tickets during last year's Fourth of July STOP-DWI campaign. They arrested 193 people for DWI over that holiday weekend, and investigated 158 personal injury crashes and five fatalities.
