Everett Lynnwood DUI Attorney: King County DUI drivers total 29 for St. Patrick's Day
State Patrol troopers nabbed 29 motorists in King County for driving under the influence on the evening of St. Patrick's Day, Trooper Julie Startup reported Friday morning.
The arrests occurred during a 12-hour period that began at 5 pm, she said in a statement. There were no traffic-related deaths during this period.
Extra troopers patrolled highways as part of an "emphasis" patrol. She said the DUI arrests during the Thursday's 12-hour period was "more than double" what troopers have recorded for the day so far in 2011.
"The number of DUI drivers taken off the road was still staggering," she said.
Just after midnight on Friday, troopers responded to a hit-and-run collision on Interstate 90. Startup described it as serious and said troopers remained on the scene for over three hours.
Two of the four people in the car suffered injuries, she said. They were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Other law enforcement agencies participated in this DUI emphasis patrol. Officials have said that about half of all King County traffic deaths were caused by a driver who was DUI.
