FATAL TRAFFIC CRASH FACTOR: DRIVER IMPAIRMENT <br />Driver impairment (alcohol and/or drugs) was a factor in 56% of all fatal traffic crashes on <br />Hawaii Island (see Figure 12). Of those fatal traffic crashes where alcohol and/or drugs were a <br />factor, speed was also considered a factor in 43%. Of the drugs identified in the system of the <br />drivers involved in fatal traffic crashes, the most likely types were stimulants (e.g., <br />methamphetamine) and cannabinoids (e.g., marijuana) (see Figure 13). <br />Map 5 identifies the location of driver impaired fatal traffic crashes. Communities of concern, <br />roadway ownership, and the location of available police stations and hospitals have been <br />delineated as well <br />FIGURE 12.
