OSHP releases Christmas Holiday Report

Blake Pierce, News Content Director

December 27, 2023

Road sign tells drivers to dial #677 if they suspect an impaired driver.

Nine people were killed in eight fatal crashes on Ohio roadways this Christmas Holiday weekend, marking the fewest deaths during this period since 2018, according to the 2023 OSHP Christmas Holiday Report.

OSHP officials say 213 people were arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired (O.V.I.) and 21 were arrested for having illegal drugs.

OSHP officials measure statistics over four days, beginning Friday, Dec. 22 at 12:00 a.m. and concluding at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 25. They say during the time, troopers also assisted 1,049 motorists on Ohio roadways.

In comparison, there were 12 people killed during the 2022 Christmas holiday, which ran from December 23 to 26.

OSHP encourages the public to continue using #677 to report dangerous or impaired drivers, as well as drug activity. A statistical analysis of the Patrol’s enforcement activity and crash data over the holiday is available here.
