No DUI deaths in San Diego Thanksgiving weekend
750 arrested up to the holiday in the county for impaired driving
Car from DUI arrest in Gaslamp about 1:30 am Thanksgiving Sunday.
On the recent Thanksgiving weekend, 44 driving under the influence (DUI) arrests were made and reported within San Diego County, per CrimeMapping.com. However, as this article went to print, no DUI fatality reports were made during that period — including Wednesday night and Thanksgiving Day through Sunday at midnight.
Saturday, November 26, showed the busiest of the four-plus days, as law enforcement reported on the crime site; they arrested 19 people for driving under the influence. On Thanksgiving Day, November 24, there were seven DUI arrests made.
(While no DUI-related fatalities were reported, toxicology reports generally take four to six weeks.)

This year, part of the countywide's safer roadways are attributed to local law enforcement press releases and mainstream news reports of their active presence during the busy four- to five-day weekend. As estimated by AAA, nearly 55 million people drove or rode in a car that long holiday weekend.
On the recent Thanksgiving week, California Highway Patrol implemented a Maximum Enforcement Period, where CHP officers added resources to seek out unsafe drivers from Wednesday at 6 pm to Sunday at midnight.
"Tragically, 41 people were killed in crashes on the state's roadways during the California Highway Patrol's 102-hour Thanksgiving Maximum Enforcement Period," read a CHP tweet. "This total reflects a 28 percent decrease from the same period last year" — a drop from 57 last year to 41 this year. While two traffic fatalities occurred on San Diego County freeways and highways during the long Thanksgiving weekend, no additional info was divulged on whether alcohol or drugs were involved in the accidents.
In 2022, prior to the Thanksgiving holidays, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department arrested "more than 750 people for impaired driving in San Diego County," which led to an increase in impaired-driving patrols during the T-day week.
On Thanksgiving morning, the Encinitas sheriffs arrested someone on the 300 block of Encinitas Boulevard for a DUI involving alcohol, says CrimeMapping.com. A couple of hours later, the Imperial Beach sheriffs detained a person for driving under the influence of alcohol mixed with an unidentified drug. "DUI doesn’t just mean booze," says the sheriff's website, "prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and marijuana can also impair, especially in combination with alcohol and other drugs." Later that day, at about 2 pm, the Vista sheriffs arrested someone on the 1600 block of Vale Terrace Drive for a DUI with alcohol.
On Black Friday, five DUI arrests were reported on the Crime Mapping page; three were in North County early in the morning as shoppers waited in long lines outside stores.
On Sunday, the last day of the holidays, law enforcement agencies reported 13 DUIs on Crime Mapping. 911 VIDEO NEWS was on location at one of the DUI arrests by the Gaslamp District at about 1:30 am that Sunday. "The male driver and his female companion were eastbound on G Street when he hit a parked truck," reads the caption underneath the YouTube arrest video. "The collision sent the truck into the car that was parked in front of it. The driver continued for another block before not being able to continue any further. The female suffered a head injury and was treated by the paramedics. The male was 'tested and arrested' for DUI."
Before Thanksgiving Day, the DA's office said in a press release that in 2021, 39 people were killed in 36 DUI-related crashes. And by November 9, 2022, there was a "moderate decrease with 24 people killed, including a 1-year-old child," continued the press release in part, comparing the two time periods. "Data shows average blood-alcohol levels of drivers involved in Driving Under the Influence cases are also higher than last year at over .18 percent. Prosecutors say that more than half of individuals being arrested for driving under the influence have both alcohol and drugs in their system — a deadly combination."
