With Super Bowl XLIII to be played on Sunday, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety will increase drunken-driving enforcement this weekend throughout the state and is urging people to avoid driving impaired.
People who drink alcohol during the game, which features the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, are asked to have a designated driver if travel is necessary.
Five of the seven motorists killed in Minnesota during Super Bowl weekends the past three years were a result of alcohol-related crashes, and law enforcement arrested 1,470 motorists for DWI in that span, according to a news release.
