Texas leads the nation in the number of alcohol-related crashes that occur each year. In 2007, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 1,200 people were killed in alcohol-related car accidents in Texas.
Each year, drunk driving accounts for more than 45% of all the car accident deaths in the state of Texas. Based on these numbers, that means there is an average of 5 alcohol-related deaths in Texas each day.
The greatest number of drunk driving fatalities in 2007 occurred in the Eastern and Northern regions of Texas, with 20% and 21% of the fatal accidents occurring there, respectively.
