Authorities encourage safe driving on Super Bowl Sunday

SUMMARY: The 59th annual Super Bowl is this Sunday, and Jackson city officials are urging drivers to prioritize safety. With increased celebrations, law enforcement will be enforcing DUI checkpoints and discouraging distracted or impaired driving.

Officials advise designating a sober driver, holding friends accountable, and driving distraction-free. The goal is to ensure everyone remains safe during Super Bowl Sunday festivities.
