The Utah Department of Public Safety is reminding football fans to plan a sober ride home from the big game Sunday.
Safety officials say alcohol-related crashes are more than twice as likely on Super Bowl Sunday compared to a typical February day.
To combat the spike, 26 police agencies will increase shifts this weekend to ensure fans get home safely with zero fatalities. Safety officials say alcohol-related crashes in Utah are almost 15 times more likely to be fatal.
To keep Utah’s roads safe, officials ask residents to have a pre-game plan that includes a safe ride home and to always buckle up.
