Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem said Monday they will conduct a sobriety (DUI) checkpoint somewhere in Northampton or Lehigh County this Thanksgiving weekend, sometime between Wednesday, Nov. 22 and Sunday, Nov. 26.
The purpose of the checkpoint is to help reduce the number of alcohol and drug-related fatal and serious vehicle crashes, and to reduce the number of intoxicated drivers on Pennsylvania roads.
State police are required by law to notify the public when they are planning to conduct a DUI checkpoint. They are not required to disclose the exact time and location of the planned checkpoint.
