Costa Mesa police will conduct a DUI checkpoint Tuesday night on Newport Boulevard.
From 8 p.m. Tuesday to 2 a.m. Wednesday officers will stop vehicles on northbound Newport Boulevard and 22nd Street. The stop is a way for authorities to remind the public of the dangers of drinking and driving or driving without a license.
Police said recent statistics provided by Mothers Against Drunk Driving show that someone is killed every 30 minutes in an alcohol-related crash. Tuesday night officers will be looking for intoxicated drivers and various other vehicle code violations.
