One California county takes the number one spot with almost half of deadly crashes involving drivers being inebriated, according to reports.
While fatal accidents caused by drivers under the influence are not unheard of throughout the U.S., the 10 top locations where it has occurred in recent years reside on the West Coast.Humboldt County in Northern California saw that over 40% of fatal crashes involved drivers who were under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication from 2017-21, according to research by Scott Vicknair Law Firm.
"As the data suggests, this is more prevalent in some areas than others. Counties residing in Western states report particularly high rates of fatal car accidents involving drink and drug drivers, and account for each county in the top ten," said lawyer David Vicknair.
