Game plan for a safe Super Bowl

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles wants to remind residents to have a game plan to get home safely after this year’s Super Bowl.

Last year in Virginia, 245 people died from alcohol-related crashes.

36 alcohol-related accidents resulted in 15 injuries and two deaths on the day of the big game last year.

Some tips from the DMV include planning your ride home beforehand, downloading a ride sharing app or gathering a list of local cab companies, and preparing for any weather or travel advisories.
