A new study is being released on drug-impaired driving and some media reports suggest drugged driving has overtaken drunk driving in terms of traffic deaths. J-T Griffin, chief government affairs officer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, says that’s not the case in Nebraska or nationwide.
Griffin says drugged driving is a serious problem, but there’s still a dire need for more study to clarify.
On average, 28 people are killed by drunk driving every day in the U-S. In 2015 in Nebraska, 218 people died in crashes and 65 of them involved alcohol, or about a third.
