Prevalence of Alcohol Impairment and Odds of a Driver Injury or Fatality in On-Road Farm Equipment Crashes.

CONCLUSION: On-road farm equipment crashes involving alcohol result in greater odds of an injury or fatality. The risk of injury or fatality is higher among the non-farm equipment vehicle drivers who are also more likely to be alcohol-impaired. Further studies are needed to measure the impact of alcohol impairment in on-road farm equipment crashes. PMID: 29211499 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
