Extra law enforcement will patrol Newcastle roads looking for impaired drivers on Feb. 4 as residents partake in festivities for Super Bowl Sunday. The evening of the Super Bowl game has historically been a dangerous time on Washington roads due to the high number of people driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to a release from Public Health – Seattle & King County. The extra patrols will be taking place throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. “Make the right call and choose a safe ride home this weekend,” said Dr. David Fleming, Director and Health Officer for Public Health – Seattle & King County in the statement. “Before your party begins, designate a sober driver, ride the bus or take a cab.” Half of all traffic deaths in Washington state on the Super Bowl evening have involved an impaired driver. Since 2009, 191 people have been arrested for DUI on Super Bowl Sunday in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. “We want to get the word out so people can make safe choices this Sunday,” said John Cheesman, chief of the Fircrest Police Department and Chairman of the Tacoma Pierce County DUI and Traffic Safety Task Force. “Watching the Super Bowl and all the commercials is a lot of fun, but when the game is over, fans who have been drinking need to make sure they don’t get behind the wheel.” Read More. |
