HPD announces DUI checkpoints in memory of 21-year-old killed in 2022
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Huntsville Police Department announced some traffic safety DUI checkpoints throughout the weekend of May 2-4.
HPD said the DUI Task Force will be conducting safety checkpoints this weekend as part of its ongoing commitment to reduce impaired driving and enhance roadway safety.
The department said this series of checkpoints will be the department's first dedicated safety checkpoints held in memory of Kathrynn Lively, who was killed in 2022 when an impaired driver collided head-on with her motorcycle.
'We're honoring Kathrynn's memory by sharing her story and shedding light on the devastating consequences of impaired driving,' Sgt. Antonio Shorter of HPD's DUI Task Force said. 'This initiative also launches our new Safety Checkpoint Dedication Program, which gives families who've lost loved ones a platform to raise awareness and help inspire real change in our community.'
If you are stopped at a traffic safety checkpoint, be prepared to present your driver's license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration to officers.
