Ohio State Highway Patrol will be out and about on Super Bowl Sunday

As Super Bowl Sunday is historically a day when many friends and family have gatherings involving alcohol, the Ohio State Highway Patrol is urging fans to be safe this Sunday by refraining from driving impaired. If you plan on consuming alcohol, be sure to designate a sober driver to get you home safely. If you host a Super Bowl party, make sure your guests have a safe and sober way home, and do not serve alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age. During last year’s Super Bowl, the Patrol made 50 OVI arrests during the 24 hour period of Super Bowl Sunday. During that time, there were two fatalities and 156 injuries resulting from traffic crashes. Both of the traffic fatalities and 23 of the injuries were OVI-related.
