Using samples of blood obtained from 497 injured drivers at a Rochester, NY hospital, this study determined the incidence rates of alcohol, THC (marijuana agent), and other drugs. Accident data (police reports, driver interviews) were also collected, and analyses determined driver culpability rates, collision types, and crash circumstances involving alcohol and certain drugs. Police reporting of alcohol involvement was also analyzed. Possible roadway and vehicle counter-measures to reduce impaired-driver accidents were suggested. Other recommendations addressed police alcohol detection and NASS or FARS monitoring of alcohol involvement. Further study clarifying the crash roles of THC and tranquilizers in fatal and non-fatal crashes was considered essential.
