<br /> <br />Impaired Driving from Alcohol is Responsible for More <br />Than Half of the Traffic Deaths on Hawaii Island <br /> <br />[ <br />[ <br />[\ <br />[ <br />r" <br />[ <br />[ <br /> <br />The map below classifies the 287 fatal crashes on Hawaii Island between the years 2000-2007 into <br />four categories. <br />o The red dots (122) are the largest category and show the locations of fatal crashes in <br />which the driver tested positive for alcohol or drugs. <br />o The yellow dots (54), show the fatal crash locations for which all drivers were either <br />not tested or for whom test results are unknown. <br />o The green dots (43) show locations for which testing showed no impairment. <br />o The black dots (68) are locations for which FARS impairment data was not available <br />either because the crash occurred in 2007 or did not occur on a public roadway. <br /> <br />Of the 219 fatal crashes on this map which have information about whether alcohol and/ or <br />drugs were involved (the red, yellow and green dots), 122 (55%) of those fatal crashes <br />involved the use of alcohol or drugs.
