Drunk driving deaths increased again last year in Texas, and TxDOT is urging all Texans to save lives and reverse this trend by choosing a sober ride.
In the Atlanta District in 2022, there were 310 DUI-alcohol related traffic crashes, resulting in 19 fatalities and 47 serious injuries. “Imagine those people that were injured or killed were your parents, siblings or friends,” said Atlanta District Engineer Rebecca Wells. “These are people from our community, and they deserve better.”
TxDOT’s Atlanta District includes Bowie, Camp, Cass, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Panola, Titus and Upshur Counties.
