Summer Ends. Sober Rides Stay Forever
· Texas Border Business
As summer concludes, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) emphasizes the importance of sober driving, especially during Labor Day, a period marked by increased impaired driving incidents. Last year, 35% of Texas crash fatalities were linked to drugs or alcohol, a figure that surged to 57% over the 2025 Labor Day weekend, resulting in 26 deaths. In the Pharr District alone, there were 1,203 DUI-related crashes in 2025, leading to 32 fatalities. TxDOT is enhancing law enforcement efforts and promoting its 'Drive Sober. No Regrets.' campaign, urging Texans to plan safe rides ahead of time to protect themselves and others on the road.
