Seatbelt and Sobriety Checkpoint
In an effort to increase seatbelt usage and combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop D and the Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office plan to conduct a checkpoint on Saturday, May 25th from 9 p.m.- 3 a.m. at an undisclosed location in Allen Parish. The mission is to find and remove impaired drivers from the road before they can cause injury or death to themselves or others and to ticket vehicle occupants who are not properly restrained.
The majority of vehicle occupants who die in crashes in our state are not wearing a seatbelt including 7 of the 8 people who have died in crashes investigated by Troop D so far this year. Wearing a seatbelt is the single most effective thing motorists can do to protect themselves in the event of a crash.
