DUI Accident Statistics in Oregon
Below are statistics from the Oregon Department of Transportation (DOT), Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other agencies.
- More than 10,000 people are killed every year in the U.S. in drunk driving accidents – that’s 31% of all fatal accidents.
- Approximately 24,000 people are arrested and 10,000 are convicted for drunk driving in Oregon annually.
- Oregon had about 170 alcohol-involved traffic crash fatalities annually – Multnomah County has one of the highest concentrations of these accidents (18 fatalities, based on a 10 year average from 1999-2008). This dropped drastically with new restrictions for drunk drivers (such as ignition interlock devices) which caused the DUI fatality rate in Oregon to drop to about 86/yr.
