The number of people killed on Ohio roads increased in 2012 compared with the previous year’s record low, even as troopers from the Ohio Highway Patrol made thousands more stops for drug violations, impaired driving and other problems.
In Lorain County, 25 people were killed in crashes, up from 22 in 2011 and 21 in 2010. More than half of 2012’s traffic fatalities, 14, involved drunken driving, according to the patrol.
