Alcohol related collisions high in Indiana
Posted on August 19, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Any accident is frightening, but serious injuries to children can be devastating to the entire family. According to the Indiana State Police's Automated Reporting Information Exchange System (ARIES), in 2009, 199 children were injured or killed (4 fatal, 15 incapacitating) in Indiana alcohol-related motor vehicle collisions. Over 11 percent of all child traffic fatalities and 6 percent of all child incapacitating injuries occurred in alcohol-related collisions in 2009. The good news is that the number of child traffic injuries occurring in alcohol related collisions has steadily declined since 2005. The total number of child traffic injuries occurring in alcohol-related collisions decreased nearly 12 percent between 2008 and 2009. Likewise, the number of child fatalities occurring in alcohol-related collisions decreased from 9 fatalities in 2008 to 4 in 2009.
