Drunk Driving Auto Accident Injuries and Deaths

During 2005, 16,885 people in the United States died in alcohol-related automobile accidents, representing 39% of all automobile, truck, motorcycle and motor vehicle related deaths.  254,000 people were injured in car accidents where the police reported that alcohol was present.  In 2005, motor vehicle accidents resulted in 4,329 deaths in California alone, and 40% of those deaths were caused by drunk (DUI) drivers.  Drunk driving (DUI) car accidents are caused by a driver having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit (.08%) when an automobile accident or other type of accident occurred.  However, 43% of drunk driving auto accident deaths were caused by people whose BAC was below the legal limit.  Sadly, many children are also injured and killed in DUI automobile accidents.  In 2004, of all the children ages 14 and younger killed in automobile accidents, 21 percent of them were due to DUI car accidents.
