A special study of the alcohol/drug problem associated with the most responsible "drivers in fatal collisions" is being conducted. The study is designed to answer three questions in the human/psychological/alcohol/drug areas to these drivers: 1) differences between most responsible drivers who kill themselves (type I), most responsible drivers who kill another driver or passenger (type II), and drivers who kill pedestrians (type III); 2) differences between alcohol-involved and non-alcohol-involved drivers; 3) differences between alcohol-involved drivers and drivers arrested for driving while influenced. Results of the study are presented.
