THIS WEEKEND MARKS "SATURATION SATURDAY" WHEN POLICE WILL REALLY BE CRACKING DOWN ON IMPAIRED DRIVERS. (two stories, same lead).

AS THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY APPROACHES, COPS WANT TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE THAT DRINKING OR USING DRUGS AND DRIVING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED SAYS THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S SHANNON ALDERMAN.

WHILE NUMBERS HAVE IMPROVED OVER THE YEARS...ALDERMAN SAYS ABOUT 300 PEOPLE DIE EACH YEAR IN ALCOHOL RELATED CRASHED ON ILLINOIS ROADS EACH YEAR.

"SATURDATION SATURDAY" WAS CREATED A FEW YEARS AGO BY MISSOURI'S MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING CHAPTER AND ILLINOIS ADOPTED THE INITIATIVE SOON AFTER.
