DUI Crash Statistics

Everyone should be able to use the road without getting hurt. Everyone else on the street is seriously at risk from drunk drivers. Due to consistently enforced laws, drinking and driving are prohibited everywhere. Anyone who uses drugs or alcohol before driving is asking for trouble, and driving while intoxicated is extremely risky.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that approximately 10,000 people per year pass away in car accidents caused by drunk drivers. In about 18% of all fatal auto accidents, alcohol is a contributing factor.

In California, drunk driving accidents result in more than 2,000 fatalities and 30,000 injuries yearly. Depending on the driver’s age and the type of vehicle they are operating, driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are defined differently.

Drivers frequently experience vision, decision-making, and reaction time problems. Drunk drivers seriously threaten public safety on California’s most dangerous highway corridors due to their diminished senses and mental state.
