One or more drugs were detected in 81 percent of 440 male drivers, aged 15-34, killed in motor vehicle crashes in California; two or more drugs were detected in 43 percent. Alcohol, the most frequently found drug, was detected in 70 percent of the drivers, marijuana in 37 percent, and cocaine in 11 percent. Each of 24 other drugs was detected in fewer than 5 percent. Except for alcohol, drugs were infrequently found alone; typically, they were found in combination with high blood alcohol concentrations. The causal role of drugs in crashes was assessed by comparing drivers with and without drugs in terms of their responsibility for the crash. Alcohol was associated with increased crash responsibility; the role of other drugs could not be adequately determined.
在加利福尼亚州因机动车碰撞事故死亡的440名年龄在15至34岁的男性司机中,81%的人检测出一种或多种药物;43%的人检测出两种或更多药物。酒精是最常被检测到的药物,70%的司机体内检测出酒精,37%检测出大麻,11%检测出可卡因。其他24种药物中,每种被检测出的比例均低于5%。除酒精外,药物很少单独被检测到;通常,它们是在血液酒精浓度较高的情况下同时被检测到的。通过比较涉事司机体内是否有药物,评估药物在碰撞事故中的因果作用。酒精与碰撞事故责任增加有关;其他药物的作用尚无法充分确定。
