As holiday gatherings fill calendars across Benbrook, the Benbrook Police Department is reminding residents that the consequences of drunk driving remain both real and devastating.
In 2024 alone, Texas recorded 22,708 alcohol related traffic crashes. Those crashes led to 1,034 deaths and 2,242 serious injuries. Each number represents families and communities changed forever.

The message is clear. Getting home safely is always worth the extra plan. By committing to sober driving, Benbrook residents can help keep local roads safer and ensure the holidays remain a season of joy rather than tragedy.
