DEARBORN (WKZO) — Super Bowl Sunday may not be an official holiday, but it’s often treated like one. There are usually a large number of parties scheduled to coincide with the big game.
Spokesperson Susan Hiltz says last year on game day, not a single person was killed in an alcohol related traffic incident and only 4% of the crashes involved drinking.
She says those are numbers to aspire to this year as well.
