Abstract:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines a fatal traffic crash as being alcohol-related if either a driver or a nonoccupant (e.g., pedestrian) had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.01 grams per deciliter (g/dl) or greater in a police-reported traffic crash. Persons with a BAC of 0.10 g/dl or greater involved in fatal crashes are considered to be intoxicated. NHTSA estimates that alcohol was involved in 40 percent of fatal crashes and in 8 percent of all crashes in 2000. The 16,653 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes during 2000 represent an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 32 minutes. An estimated 310,000 persons were injured in crashes where police reported that alcohol was present - an average of one person injured approximately every 2 minutes. This fact sheet presents summary data on ; alcohol involvement in fatal crashes in 2000, compared with 1990 data, as well as fatalities broken down by state and BAC levels for 2000. 6 Tables, 3 figures. .
