Does impairment play a role in fatal crashes?
Alcohol or drug impairment is a factor in a portion of fatal crashes nationwide, but any determination in a specific case comes only from the investigating agency after toxicology and evidence review are complete.
Where do fatal pedestrian and scooter crashes most frequently happen?
These crashes frequently occur on multi-lane roads with higher speeds and limited lighting, especially overnight or in areas where pedestrians and scooters share space with vehicle traffic.

Higher vehicle speeds, dark or low-visibility conditions, and a lack of protective barriers between vehicles and people on foot or on scooters all increase the chance that a crash results in death.
