NDDOT reports major decline in drunk driving fatalities for 2024 in preliminary numbers
For decades, drunk driving has haunted North Dakota’s roads—but there’s a new story unfolding. In 2024, alcohol-related traffic deaths were cut nearly in half from the year before, dropping from 38 to 19. Behind that hopeful shift: changing culture, smarter tech, and bold grassroots action. From rideshares to Vision Zero outreach to tougher laws like Tyanna’s Law, the message is sticking—driving drunk isn’t just dangerous, it’s unacceptable. The work’s not done, especially in rural towns, but the trend is finally bending in the right direction. Emmeline Ivy with KFYR has the full story.
