Abstract:

In 2013, there were 114 fatal alcohol-impaired collisions in Indiana (16 percent of all fatal collisions). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines drivers as alcohol-impaired "when their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08 grams per deciliter or higher." This fact sheet presents information on alcohol-impaired traffic collisions in Indiana during 2009 to 2013. It examines different dimensions of alcohol-impaired collisions, the general incidence of alcohol testing, the BAC test results for involved drivers, and other attributes of alcohol-impaired collisions, injuries, and fatalities.
