Drugged driving on the rise

Posted on March 2nd, 2012 No Comments

Drunk driving fatalities in the state of California are declining, but crashes involving motorists on prescription and illegal drugs are on the rise.

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, 30 percent of drivers killed in 2010 tested positive for legal and/or illegal drugs. Officials say that driving while on drugs, legal or not, can be just as dangerous as driving while under the influence of alcohol. Most accidents involving drugs go unreported due to the high costs of toxicology tests.

The California Highway Patrol has teamed up with the Office of Traffic Safety to help spot drugged drivers. The agency is unsure as to why the number of drugged drivers have increased over the years, but the legalization of marijuana may be a factor.

A San Jose man was arrested for felony DUI earlier this week. The man allegedly was driving his car after drinking 20 beers, according to his brother.

The man’s car apparently hit one vehicle and caused a chain reaction of accidents. The accident caused one car to go into the front yard of a family’s home, where two parents and their three children were hit by the car. While nobody in the family was killed in the accident, all five were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
