If you’re planning on drinking at Super Bowl parties Sunday night, you may want to have a designated driver or call a cab.
Several local law enforcement agencies will be setting up a DUI checkpoint Sunday night, but they aren’t saying where the checkpoint will be. The checkpoint will take place the same night that footfall fans will be celebrating the big game.
The Reno Police Department, Nevada Highway Patrol, Carson City Sheriff's Department, Storey County Sheriff's Department and the Lyon County Sheriff's Department are coming together to prevent accidents by screening for impaired drivers.
Police will also be checking for seat belt violations, unsafe car seats, and other violations.
