The Hays Police Department would like to remind everyone to celebrate responsibly and drive sober. July 4th almost always is at the top of the list for being one of the deadliest holidays of the year to be on the road. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious risk with too often deadly consequences.

Have a Happy 4th of July and holiday weekend. If you are impaired do not drive. Instead call a friend, a family member, or the Safe Ride at 785-621-2580.
