Through Labor Day weekend, state police Troop M -- which covers Northampton, Lehigh and Bucks counties -- had arrested 1,105 people suspected of driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs, according to police statistics. During that period, state troopers in the three counties responded to 171 DUI-related crashes, including two involving fatalities.
