GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Forward of the rivalry sport Saturday, police in Michigan and Ohio are teaming up in opposition to drunk driving.
“There is absolutely no reason to drive impaired — ever,” Col. James F. Grady II, director of the Michigan State Police, mentioned within the launch. “Enjoy the game and the celebrations that come with it but please be responsible because lives depend on it. Protect yourself and others on the road by using a rideshare service or if driving, only drive sober, avoid distractions, and wear your seatbelt.”

Col. Charles A. Jones, the superintendent of Ohio State Freeway Patrol, reminded followers to designate a sober driver, observe pace limits and put on a seat belt.
“The best way to keep the roads safe during this weekend’s Ohio State vs. Michigan game is for all drivers to make safety a priority,” he mentioned within the launch. “Whether you’re cheering for Scarlet and Gray or Maize and Blue, safe driving habits are key.”
The rivalry sport will kick off at midday Saturday in Columbus. It should air on Fox.
