The sheriff’s office said the county experienced a total of 12,012 traffic crashes last year, resulting in 54 fatal crashes and 58 fatalities.
Of these, 1,638 crashes involved impaired drivers, accounting for 23 fatal crashes and 26 deaths, representing approximately 40% of all fatal crashes, according to deputies.
