How Impaired Driving Can Increase the Risk of Serious Collisions
Alcohol and drug impairment can affect a driver’s judgment, reaction time, and ability to recognize hazards on the road. Even small decreases in attention or coordination can make it more difficult to safely navigate intersections, changing traffic patterns, and unexpected movements from other vehicles.
Crashes involving suspected impairment usually require investigators to examine multiple factors; these may include witness accounts, vehicle positions, roadway evidence, and observations made immediately after the collision. In some cases, testing may also be used to help determine whether alcohol or drugs contributed to what occurred.
When children are among those hurt, medical evaluations may be conducted even when injuries initially appear minor. Early assessments can help identify concerns that are not immediately visible and ensure that everyone involved receives appropriate care following a serious roadway crash.
