What Risks Are Associated With DUI-Related Pedestrian Crashes
Crashes involving impaired driving significantly increase the risk of pedestrian injuries.
Alcohol or drugs can impair reaction time, judgment, and awareness, making it more difficult for drivers to avoid other people in the roadway.
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in these situations, as they have little protection against vehicle impacts.
