Alcohol-Impaired Driving Deaths

Filter: none (all Regions)
This indicator measures the percentage of motor vehicle crash deaths with alcohol involvement.

Why is this important?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver kill 32 people in the United States every day, which amount to one death every 45 minutes. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion. There is strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of sobriety checkpoints as a public health intervention to reduce the harms associated with impaired driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these checkpoints reduce alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes by 9%.
