Athens, Ohio (WTVG) - The Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to stay alert and sober behind the wheel as the holidays approach.

The warning comes after an OSHP trooper from the Athens Post was hit head-on by a wrong-way drunk driver last month, officials said.

Troopers say that while first responders were working at the scene of that crash, a second wrong-way drunk driver nearly crashed into them.

Moments later, a third drunk driver drove through the crash site, also going the wrong way.

All three drivers were caught on video. Watch that footage in the attached video player.

OHSP says the incident demonstrates the extreme dangers of impaired and reckless driving.
