Crush the Crisis

Fewer drugs fewer drugs will end up in the wrong hands thanks to a national initiative.

Today was "drug takeback day."

Organizations hosted collections across the country and right here in the valley.

Terre haute regional hospital hosted "crush the crisis."

With the help of local law enforcment... anyone could drop off unused and unwanted prescription pills and expired medications.

Those pills will now go to indianapolis where they will be properly destroyed.

The goal -- to curb the nation's opioid crisis.

Volunteers also collected donations for "crime stoppers" -- a non-profit group dedicated to bringing criminals to justice.
