Nashville, TN \u2013 On Friday, February 6th, 2026, the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) and the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), divisions of the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, partnered with the Tennessee Titans, the Tennessee Sheriffs\u2019 Association, and the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police for a press event to remind citizens that \u201cFans Don\u2019t Let Fans Drive Drunk,\u201d ahead of Super Bowl weekend.<\/p>\n
Additional organizations in attendance included the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the Nashville Department of Transportation, the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Alliance Highway Safety, and Choices Matter.<\/p>\n
According to Tennessee\u2019s Integrated Traffic Analysis Network (TITAN), there were 84 drunk-driving crashes statewide during Super Bowl weekend in 2025 and four drunk-driving fatalities. In 2024, there were 96 drunk-driving crashes statewide during Super Bowl weekend and four drunk-driving fatalities.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrinking and driving is a selfish act,\u201d said THSO Director Buddy Lewis. \u201cNo police officer wants to make that knock at the door to notify a family they lost a loved one to a drunk driver. The THSO is partnering with law enforcement and traffic safety advocates statewide to encourage the public to make safe driving choices. Let\u2019s work together to keep everyone safe. Never drink and drive.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event featured Murfreesboro resident April Cody who spoke about her 30-year-old son Andre\u2019 Hunter who was tragically killed by a drunk driver in Clarksville on January 21st, 2023. In October 2025, a portion of Interstate 24 in Clarksville was designated Andre\u2019 Hunter Memorial Highway in his memory.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring Super Bowl Sunday, troopers will be out in full force to remove drunk drivers from the roadways,\u201d said THP Colonel Matt Perry. \u201cIf you witness someone drinking and driving, call *THP (*847) to notify dispatch so a trooper can respond.\u201d<\/p>\n
During Super Bowl weekend, Tennesseans are reminded that \u201cFans Don\u2019t Let Fans Drive Drunk.\u201d Always find a sober ride home. If you choose to drink and drive, you could lose your license, your freedom, your life, or the life of someone else.
