Impaired Driving - A Threat to Everyone

Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 51 minutes.  The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $59 billion.

Thankfully, there are effective measures that can help prevent injuries and deaths from alcohol-impaired driving.

Keep Ohio safe. Keep drunk drivers off the road.

The CDC has provided a fact sheet that provides a snapshot of alcohol-involved deaths and drunk driving and an overview of proven strategies to reduce or prevent drunk driving. Click here to view the fact sheet.
