EPHRATA – The Grant County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying that thousands of people die annually from impaired driving, making it one of the top preventable deaths on U.S. roadways. Driving under the influence includes alcohol, marijuana, illicit drugs – heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine — and certain over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs. During this holiday season, the sheriff’s office asks that residents make a plan for a safe ride home prior to celebrating – designate a sober, well-rested driver to get people home safely or use a ride-sharing service.
