HOWELL — Authorities consider the night before Thanksgiving to be one of the worst nights for drunk driving.

A task force in Monmouth County has plans to crack down on motorists who make bad decisions and put everyone else's lives in danger.

A four-hour DWI checkpoint has been announced for Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

It's happening on the northbound side of Route 9. Officials say all vehicles will be diverted into Regal Plaza, between Dollar General and White Castle. All drivers will be screened for their sobriety.
