Briefs: More police patrols set for Super Bowl Sunday

Additional police patrols are planned today in Yuba, Sutter and Colusa counties targeting drunken drivers on Super Bowl Sunday.

Saturation patrols are scheduled in all three counties from noon-2 a.m. Monday, Marysville Police Sgt. Chris Sachs said.

The effort is another part of the Avoid the 9 anti-drunken driving campaign.

Officers anticipate additional road dangers as a result of one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

Police have said, on average, one person dies in an alcohol-impaired driving collision every 51 minutes in America.

In 2010, 791 people died in California in crashes involving drunken drivers.

Drunken drivers face jail time, license suspension, insurance spikes, and fines, fees and classes that can exceed $10,000.
