State Alcohol-Impaired-Driving Estimates

Key Findings
Of the 32,719 motor vehicle
traffic fatalities in 2013, there
were 10,076 (31%) people killed
in alcohol-impaired-driving
crashes where at least one driver
in each crash had a blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) of .08 grams
per deciliter (g/dL) or higher. The
following States had the highest
percentages: South Carolina
(44%), North Dakota (42%),
Connecticut (41%), Montana
(40%), and Texas(40%).
Of the 44,574 drivers involved in
fatal crashes in 2013, there were
9,461 (21%) who were alcoholimpaired.
In 2013, the percentages of
alcohol-impaired drivers involved
in fatal crashes ranged from
13percent (Utah) to 32 percent
(South Carolina), compared to
21percent in the United States.
Of the 44,574 drivers involved in
fatal crashes in 2013, slightly less
than half (48%) had known BAC
test results.
In 2013, BAC test results were
known for 71 percent of fatally
injured drivers compared to only
28 percent of surviving drivers in
fatal crashes.

This fact sheet contains estimates of driver alcohol involvement in fatal crashes for the United States
and individually for the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Estimates for Puerto
Rico are not included in the national estimates. Data from the current year (2013) and 10 years ago
(2004) are presented for comparison. These estimates are based on data from the Fatality Analysis
Reporting System (FARS).
In this fact sheet, the 2013 State alcohol-impaired-driving estimates information is presented in the
following order:

Alcohol-Impaired Definitions and Explanations

All 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have by law set limits that it is illegal to drive
with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) of .08 gram per deciliter (g/dL) or higher.
Drivers are considered to be alcohol-impaired when their BACs are .08 g/dL or higher. Thus, any
fatality occurring in a crash involving a driver with a BAC of .08 or higher is considered to be an
alcohol-impaired-driving fatality. The term driver refers to the operator of any motor vehicle,
including a motorcycle. The term alcohol-impaired does not imply that a crash or a fatality was
caused by alcohol impairment.

TRAFFIC SAFETY FACTS

STATE ALCOHOL-IMPAIRED DRIVING ESTIMATES | 2013 DATA

Great caution is needed in comparing the levels of alcohol

involvement among States. Differences in alcohol involvement can
be due to any number of factors not necessarily directly related to
a States alcohol traffic safety program. Factors affecting alcohol
involvement in fatal crashes include:

The statistical model was developed at the national level using all
available known data and applied to each individual driver with
missing or unknown BAC test results.

Population demographics and the economic environment (for

example, older drivers and female drivers tend to have lower
levels of alcohol involvement, and drivers of older vehicles tend
to have higher levels of alcohol involvement), and
Types of vehicles (for example, motorcycle riders tend to have the
highest levels of alcohol involvement followed by drivers of light
trucks, and drivers of large trucks tend to have the lowest levels
of alcohol involvement).

Tables 1 through 4 and Table 10 present State-level and nationallevel estimates; Tables 5 to 9 present State-level and national-level
actual FARS record numbers. Estimates or numbers for Puerto
Rico are not included in the national estimates or numbers. These
estimates represent a combination of known BAC results and
estimated BACs derived from the multiple imputation model for
missing or unknown BAC results.

One of the major differences among States is the wide range of

known testing results for drivers involved in fatal traffic crashes. In
2013, State-level percentages of known BACs of drivers involved
ranged from a low of 27 percent in Virginia to a high of 85 percent
in Maine and Montana (Table 5). These testing differences affect
the accuracy and reliability of the estimates presented. States with
higher percentages of known BACs are more likely to have accurate
and precise estimates of fatal crash alcohol involvement.

Unknown FARS Alcohol Data

BAC test results are not known for all drivers involved in fatal
crashes. Missing data can result for a number of reasons; the most
frequent is that drivers are not always tested for alcohol. Each State
or local jurisdiction has its own guidelines of when to administer
BAC tests in fatal crashes.
To address the missing data issue, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration uses a statistical model called multiple
imputation to estimate the BAC of the driver at the time of the
crash. This statistical model is based on important characteristics of
the crash including:

crash factors (time of day, day of week, type of crash, and

location);
vehicle factors (vehicle type and role in the crash);
person factors (age, sex, restraint use, and previous driving
violations); and
most importantly, the subjective assessment of the police officer
at the scene of the crash as to whether alcohol was involved.

State-by-State Data Tables

For Tables 1 to 4, estimates are presented in four BAC categories:

Tables 1 and 2 present the estimated number of fatalities by highest

driver BAC in the crash as well as the estimated number and
percentage for each BAC category for 2004 and 2013, respectively.

Of the 42,836 motor vehicle traffic fatalities in 2004, there were

(Table 2). The following States had the highest percentages:
South Carolina (44%), North Dakota (42%), Connecticut (41%),
Montana(40%), and Texas (40%).

Tables 3 and 4 present the estimated number of drivers involved

in fatal crashes by BACs of the drivers as well as the estimated
number and percentage for each BAC category for 2004 and 2013,
respectively.

Of the 58,395 drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2004, there were

STATE ALCOHOL-IMPAIRED DRIVING ESTIMATES | 2013 DATA

The higher the percentages of drivers with known BAC test results,
the more reliable the State estimates.
For Tables 6 to 9, numbers are presented in four BAC test status
categories:

Tested with known results,

Tested with unknown results,
Not tested, and
Unknown if tested.

Of the 26,871 driver fatalities in 2004, there were 18,275 (68%)

who had known BAC test results (Table 6).
Of the 20,871 driver fatalities in 2013, there were 14,905 (71%)
who had known BAC test results (Table 7).

Tables 8 and 9 present the number of surviving drivers involved

in fatal crashes and their BAC test statuses for 2004 and 2013,
respectively.

Table 10 presents the estimated percentages of alcohol-impaireddriving fatalities (same percentages as in Tables 1 and 2) and the
estimated percentages of alcohol-impaired drivers involved in fatal
crashes (same percentages as in Tables 3 and 4) for 2004 and 2013.
The 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are grouped
into different NHTSA regions for this table.

Tables 6 and 7 present the number of driver fatalities and their BAC
test statuses for 2004 and 2013, respectively.

TRAFFIC SAFETY FACTS

In 2013, the alcohol-impaired-driving fatality percentages

ranged from 17 percent (Utah) to 44 percent (South Carolina),
compared to 31 percent in the United States.
In 2013, the alcohol-impaired percentages of drivers involved in
fatal crashes ranged from 13 percent (Utah) to 32 percent (South
Carolina), compared to 21 percent in the United States.

This fact sheet contains information on motor vehicle fatalities and

fatal crashes, based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting
System (FARS). FARS is a census of fatal crashes within the 50 States,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (although Puerto Rico is
not included in U.S. totals).

Of the 31,524 surviving drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2004,

there were 8,215 (26%) who had known BAC test results (Table 8).
Of the 23,703 surviving drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2013,
there were 6,630 (28%) who had known BAC test results (Table 9).
