'LIVE LIKE ELI' New Year's Eve DUI enforcement will be done in memory of Eli Mitchell, a 13-year-old West Jordan boy killed by a drunk driver.
WEST JORDAN, Utah — Utah State Highway Patrol and West Jordan Police teamed up on New Year’s Eve for a joint DUI Enforcement Blitz in memory of Eli Mitchell.
The 13-year-old was riding his bike home from the grocery store in April of 2022 when he was struck and killed by an impaired driver.“Eli was a man of peace,” said his grandfather Glendon Mitchell, “We hope our messaging as a family would be to bring the community together to stop drinking and driving.”“A campaign slogan for people to stop drunk driving is ‘Live Like Eli,’” said friend Cooper Rogerson. “Just trying to be more like him. He didn’t care what anybody else thought of him.
He said if you see a friend who is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and make arrangements to get them home safely.
