How big is the problem?
- In 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.
- Of the 1,233 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2016, 214 (17%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver.
- In 2016, more than 1 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.3 That’s one percent of the 111 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (figure below).
- Drugs other than alcohol (legal and illegal) are involved in about 16% of motor vehicle crashes.
- Marijuana use is increasing and 13% of nighttime, weekend drivers have marijuana in their system.
- Marijuana users were about 25% more likely to be involved in a crash than drivers with no evidence of marijuana use, however other factors–such as age and gender–may account for the increased crash risk among marijuana users.
Many people who passed the display were intrigued about the details of the incident that the vehicle was a part of. Unfortunately we do not have any more information other than that the vehicle was received from the Pullman Fire Department. The main point of this display was to really show each person that passed how serious driving distracted really is. Changing the radio, talking to someone on the phone, or texting is never more important than your life or the life of someone else.
We thank everyone that was involved in helping make this Display possible and bringing awareness to such an important cause.
