RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — The Pennington County Sheriff's Office plans to conduct saturation patrols to crack down on drunken driving during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in western South Dakota.

The patrols will be conducted from Friday until Aug. 10.

Authorities say deputies will be looking for drunken drivers and drivers who are not wearing seatbelts as part of an effort to reduce traffic accidents and injuries.

The sheriff's office says anyone who plans to go out drinking should have a designated driver or plan to call a cab.
