DUI Crash Statistics

It’s not uncommon for car accidents to happen at unexpected times. There are still safety concerns on California roadways, even though people have been trained and implemented safety programs. Driver negligence has increased dramatically in recent years, which is cause for serious concern.

The suspect was driving under the influence of drugs when the accident occurred, so he bears the brunt of the blame. The most reckless and dangerous thing a driver can do is drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Drunk drivers put the lives of innocent people — as well as their own — in grave danger.

While the state of California and the country as a whole have made great strides in the fight against drunk driving, there is still a long way to go. The NHTSA estimates that about 10,000 people lose their lives each year as a result of DUI-related accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, alcohol and drugs are involved in approximately 18% of fatal car accidents.
