Bend Police say impaired driving continues to be a daily concern, with 278 DUI arrests so far this year — a pace officials say is similar to recent years. Bend PD’s Sheila Miller tells KBND News officers have responded to at least four crashes in the past 10 days where drivers were arrested for impairment at the scene. Another incident happened Saturday at 3rd and Reed Market, where police say a person overdosed while driving. Miller says officers are also continuing targeted patrols for speeding and distracted driving. During a recent Parkway detail, officers issued 12 speeding tickets in one hour, with drivers clocked at 65 to 72 miles per hour.
