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. Traffic fatalities in alcohol-related crashes fell by 1 percent from 1998 to 1999. The 15,786 alcohol-related fatalities in 1999 (38 percent of total traffic fatalities for the year) represent a 30 percent reduction from the 22,404 alcohol-related fatalities reported in 1989 (49 percent of the total). Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 present summary data on alcohol involvement in fatal crashes in 1999, compared with 1989 data. Table 6 shows alcohol involvement in fatal traffic crashes by state. 6 Tables, 3 figures.
