Marcos Icahuate
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) will have an impaired driving detail on July 4 and July 5.
More officers, with help from the Office of Highway Safety, will be patrolling the city as locals celebrate Independence Day weekend.
Driving under the influence and being impaired can come from more than alcohol, as medication can also lead to impaired driving.
YPD would like to give the following tips for those planning to celebrate Independence Day:
Plan a safe way home before celebrating
Designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home
Use a taxi, Uber, or call a trusted person
If you see an impaired driver, call 911
