CHP warning Super Bowl revelers not to drink and drive

The California Highway Patrol is teaming up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to remind motorists to designate a sober driver before the Super Bowl begins.

According to data from the CHP’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, during last year’s Super Bowl, one person was killed in an alcohol-involved collision and 41 others were injured on California’s roads. That same day, there were 247 arrests made by the CHP for driving under the influence. 

Officers say to leave your car keys at home if you will be consuming alcoholic beverages, use public transportation, a designated driver, or a ride-hailing service to stay safe.

The public can help by calling 911 if they suspect a drunken driver.
