Alcohol impairs judgment, slows reaction time, reduces coordination, and affects a driver's ability to make safe decisions behind the wheel. Because impaired drivers often speed, ignore traffic signals, or drive the wrong way, these crashes frequently result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 12,429 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in the United States during 2023, accounting for approximately 30% of all traffic fatalities nationwide. On average, one person died in an alcohol-impaired crash every 42 minutes.
Arkansas continues to experience a significant number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities each year, reinforcing the importance of holding impaired drivers accountable for the harm they cause.
While alcohol impairment is the primary factor, many drunk driving crashes involve additional reckless behavior.
