Carrington Head-On Crash Leads to 2 DUI Arrests<\/h2>\n

Carrington<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Two drivers were hurt in a head-on crash south of Carrington late Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The North Dakota Highway Patrol said both drivers were later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.<\/p>\n

Pickup Crossed the Centerline<\/h2>\n

Investigators said a northbound pickup crossed the centerline before striking a southbound sport utility vehicle.<\/p>\n

The impact sent both drivers to the hospital for medical care. Each driver was treated for minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Authorities did not release the drivers\u2019 names in the information provided. No passengers were mentioned in the report.<\/p>\n

Breath Tests Showed High Alcohol Levels<\/h2>\n

Investigators said both drivers completed preliminary breath tests after the crash.<\/p>\n

One test showed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.155. The other test showed a concentration of 0.173.<\/p>\n

The patrol reported both readings during its impaired-driving investigation.<\/p>\n

The arrests are based on suspicion. Formal charges and court outcomes may follow later.<\/p>\n

One driver was not wearing a seat belt, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

Crash Could Have Been Much Worse<\/h2>\n

Head-on crashes often cause severe injuries because both vehicles absorb strong forces.<\/p>\n

Investigators said this crash could have caused far more serious injuries or deaths.<\/p>\n

The patrol used the case to warn drivers about the risks of impaired driving.<\/p>\n

Alcohol and other impairing substances can slow reaction time. They can also harm judgment and vehicle control.<\/p>\n

Drivers who plan to drink should arrange a sober ride before leaving home.<\/p>\n

Options include a designated driver, taxi, rideshare service, or an overnight stay.<\/p>\n

Traffic safety information is available from the\u00a0North Dakota Highway Patrol\u00a0<\/a>and North Dakota Vision Zero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Federal impaired-driving guidance is available from the\u00a0National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seat belt guidance is also available through the\u00a0NHTSA seat belt safety page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyone facing possible DUI charges is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
