Cheshire Police launching campaign to educate and target drink/drug drivers

Road users are being urged to not get behind the wheel after having an alcoholic drink or taking drugs this Christmas.

Cheshire Constabulary and Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service are launching a month-long campaign to educate and target drink/drug drivers.

PC Tony Hayhurst is pleading with motorists to not be the reason he has to bring a family’s world crashing down over the festive season.

The Family Liaison Officer said: "Last December there were 157 collisions on Cheshire’s roads, and on average one a day which resulted in serious or life-changing injuries.

"Sadly, three of the people involved in the collisions last December died."
