FRANKFORT — State police are going to be cracking down on impaired drivers over the holiday weekend.

Sgt. David Jude says the Independence Day holiday has become one of the most dangerous times to be on the highway. He says too many people don't realize that alcohol and drugs don't mix with driving.

Jude says troopers will be working overtime through the weekend to crack down on impaired drivers.
