Be safe ringing in the New Year

Sunday we will be closing the book on 2023.

As we usher out the old and enter the new year, it’s important that we celebrate responsibly. That means no drinking, drugging and driving.

In 2022, there were 78 incidents of driving while intoxicated in Leelanau County. Statewide that same year there were 9,331 alcohol-related crashes — 322 of these crashes included fatalities.
