DUI Accident Statistics

Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to road hazards. They are the most at risk because they have no safeguards in place to protect them in the event of a major accident.

The number of pedestrian deaths in the United States has risen sharply in recent years. Between 2007 and 2016, the number of pedestrian deaths rose by 27%, while the number of deaths due to other forms of traffic decreased by 14%.

A drunk driver could not give way to an uninjured pedestrian in this instance. Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a serious crime that should be taken seriously. There are a lot of drunk driving accidents in the United States, which is unfortunate.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 30 people in the United States die each day as a result of drunk driving accidents. About 29% of people killed in car accidents in the United States were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. Of these drivers, 61% are found to be over the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC).
