Drunken drivers risk lives during San Antonio’s Fiesta

San Antonio’s Fiesta is one of the largest festivals in Texas and the nation. It began as a way of remembering the heroes of the Alamo, but has grown into an eleven day celebration of San Antonio’s diverse culture and history.

Unfortunately, Fiesta is not only fun it can be deadly. Last April, San Antonio police made 422 DWI arrests and saw 239 alcohol-related car crashes. Most of these occurred during Fiesta.
 
This year, police hope to promote public safety with their new Breath Alcohol Testing Van. The vehicle, dubbed the “Bat Mobile”, is equipped with cameras, computers, a breath analyzer machine and two small holding cells. The van will be sent to the areas with the highest incidence of drunk driving. Police will be able to stop, test, process and hold drivers suspected of being under the influence.
 
Enjoy Fiesta, but please don’t drive drunk.
