Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a major cause of car accidents. Impaired driving is dangerous and exposes drivers and other road users to the risk of being injured or killed in a traffic collision. An impaired driver is likely to cause a crash because the use of alcohol and drugs impairs vision, judgment, and reaction time.

Some common collisions caused by DUI suspects include wrong-way collisions, head-on crashes, and speeding accidents.
