A crash or injury are considered alcohol-related if any driver, pedestrian or bicyclist involved in the crash was percieved by the report
officer or found by a laboratory test, to be positive for alcohol (i.e., to have a blood alcohol concentration of .01% or higher). Crashes
are by county of occurrence.
Alcohol-related costs are calculated using estimates (provided annually by the National Safety Council) which do not attempt to include
“comprehensive costs” but just direct costs due to medical expense, property damage, and lost productivity. Other estimating procedures
(e.g., those used by the US Department of Transportation) that do attempt to include comprehensive costs result in estimates about three
times as great as those used by National Safety Council.

Notes about the Chemical Health Indicators
IMPAIRED DRIVING INCIDENTS
Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts
This category includes data about motor vehicle crashes and violations related to alcohol. The violations’
indicators includes violations for both failing and also refusing to take (implied consent law) a test for blood
alcohol content.
These indicators include both local law enforcement and State Patrol reports.

Minnesota Department of Public Safety, 651/201-7000
Limitations:
Under-reporting
Law enforcement officers at a crash or arrest site may not realize and thus not report that alcohol or other drugs
were involved.
Lack of Standard Reporting
The number of reports of alcohol-related crashes or driving while impaired violations are affected by the
inconsistency of enforcement of the laws by local law enforcement officials. One community may be very strict
in enforcement, or receive specific funds for specific enforcement, while another community may be more
lenient.
