You will see more law enforcement out on Mesa County roads for the remainder of this three day weekend.

Be careful. Be safe. Be smart.

On this weekend in 2015 there were 11 vehicle crashes, eight arrests for drunk driving and sadly, one fatality on our roads. The Colorado State Police are hoping those numbers drop significantly this year.

For more on this story head to KKCO News. Reporter Carly Moore has all the details.

Drunk driving affects me in a very, very personal way. It's a story that I rarely tell. It happened 18 years ago and to this day there will be moments where I just shut down. Certain days of the year and a very notable holiday still can trigger that anxiety and some not so good thoughts. Especially this year.

What a drunk driver can do to your life.

I hope you never, ever have to learn what that is like. Do not drink and drive.
