The Illinois State Police (ISP) announced the results of a Roadside Safety Check (RSC) held during the late evening hours of April 24 and early morning hours of April 25. The detail was conducted in Adams county by ISP District 20 officers.
Alcohol is involved in nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes in Illinois. RSCs are designed to remove alcohol-impaired drivers, however, when other violations are observed such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, operating a vehicle without a valid registration or insurance, or safety belt violations, enforcement action may be taken. The following citations were issued at the safety check:
