| 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. Traffic fatalities in alcohol-related crashes dropped by 5 percent from 1993 to 1994. In 1994, 32 percent of all traffic fatalities occurred in crashes in which at least one driver or nonoccupant had a BAC of 0.10 g/dl or higher. More than two-thirds of the 13,094 people killed in such crashes were themselves intoxicated. The remaining one-third were passengers, nonintoxicated drivers, or nonintoxicated nonoccupants. Table 1 shows the breakdown of these figures. Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 present summary data on alcohol involvement in fatal crashes in 1994, compared with 1984 data. Table 6 shows a summary by state. |
