DUI Crackdown Underway In Delaware County

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Impaired drivers: you are warned.

The Northern Delaware County DUI Taskforce will be out cracking down on impaired driving during the holiday weekend.

Starting Wednesday night, the Haverford, Marple, Newtown, Radnor, Springfield, and Upper Darby police departments are looking to stop any and all impaired drivers.

DUI checkpoints will be in place throughout these townships as holiday celebrations ramp up.

Northern Delaware County DUI Taskforce aims to save lives on the roadways and reduce injuries by aggressively enforcing DUI laws.

Sobriety checkpoints are a proactive visual deterrent while also removing impaired drivers; roving patrols are traffic details with the main goals to spot and stop possible impaired drivers before they can cause harm to innocent unsuspecting motorists traveling on our roadways.

The taskforce reminds all drivers over 21 to be responsible and never operate a motor vehicle while impaired.

Drivers should read carefully all instruction labels on prescription or over the counter medications, and make arrangements prior to consuming alcohol for a designated driver.
