GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The Highway Patrol says increased enforcement efforts in the northeastern section of North Dakota before Christmas yielded one arrest for drunken driving.

Lt. Aaron Hummel says troopers focused for four straight days on key factors that lead to accidents: speed, right of way of violations, and impaired driving.

Hummel says the patrol issued 136 citations for speeding and 35 citations for failing to yield or stop.

There were no serious injuries or fatal crashes leading up to Christmas.
