Drunk Driving Accidents During Memorial Day Holiday

It is a well-known fact that there is a strong correlation between national holidays and alcohol consumption.

People are more likely to gather with others, participate in recreational activities that facilitate alcohol consumption, or they may simply be in the mood to celebrate.

Indeed, a recent survey of 2,000 Americans determined that the average US Adult was found to double their intake of booze during a holiday weekend.

No matter where it occurs—Northwest Arkansas, Central Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, or Tennessee—this type of holiday binge drinking impacts the safety of our roadways, and Memorial Day Weekend is no exception.

Based upon statistical modeling dating back to 1996, the National Safety Council estimates 366 people may die on U.S. roadways during Memorial Day Weekend 2020.

In its study, the National Safety Council specifically highlighted alcohol consumption as a major contributing  factor to motor vehicle crashes that may occur during Memorial Day Weekend 2020.

Indeed, more than 37% of car accident deaths involved an alcohol impaired driver last year.

Left in the wake of this period of increased alcohol consumption, are innocent victims of drunk drivers.

While some may encounter wrongful death, others may have serious, life-altering injuries caused by a drunk driver.
