February 7, 2025, Press Release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol: COLUMBUS – In an effort to keep our roadways safe this Super Bowl Sunday, troopers will be cracking down on impaired drivers.
In 2024, there were 8 fatal crashes that resulted in 9 deaths. While this is the lowest number of fatalities until 2019, local officials want to see that number to continue to fall in 2025.
While one fatality is one too many, 15 in six months was the call for action for the Findlay post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol to stop this disturbing trend. From January 1st to June 25th, they saw 15 people died on Hancock and Hardin County roadways and a majority of the crashes that resulted in serious injuries or fatalities were caused by drivers that failed to stop at stop signs or red light. Since then, troopers have been stepping up enforcement looking for violators during the peak times that the accidents were occurring to avoid any other fatal crashes.
