COLUMBUS, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – The holiday reporting period for fatal crashes began at midnight Friday morning and goes until midnight Monday night.
The State Highway Patrol wants everyone going to a New Years Eve or Peach Bowl Watch Party to designate a sober driver for the ride home.

12 people were killed over a similar four-day New Years reporting period in 2021-2022.
The patrol says alcohol and/or drugs were a factor in half of those fatal crashes.
