Connecticut State Police Trooper Chandler Chasse is emphasizing the dangers of drunk driving this Thanksgiving Eve, as it is a holiday known for high rates of incidents related to driving under the influence. With the Thanksgiving travel rush expected to break records, state police officers are on the road to keep everyone safe and prevent accidents caused by impaired driving.
Chasse’s personal experience of being hit by a drunk driver while on duty serves as a powerful reminder of the potential consequences of driving under the influence. He recalls having to be rescued by the fire department using the jaws of life to extricate him from his vehicle. With this in mind, Chasse is now patrolling the Hartford area, actively looking for drunk drivers in an effort to prevent tragedies on the road.
As law enforcement officers remain vigilant during this holiday period, the message is clear: driving under the influence is not worth the risk of injury or loss of life.
