Drowsy Driving Accidents

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that approximately 100,000 police-reported crashes annually (about 1.5 percent of all crashes) involve drowsiness or fatigue as a principal causal factor. A conservative estimate of related fatalities is 1,500 annually or 4 percent of all traffic crash fatalities. At least 71,000 people are injured in fall-asleep crashes each year. The economic costs are immense: NHTSA estimates that these crashes represent $12.5 billion in monetary losses each year.

Additionally, drowsiness and fatigue may play a role in crashes that are often attributed to other causes. About one million crashes annually - one-sixth of all crashes - are thought to be caused by driver inattention. Sleep deprivation and fatigue make these lapses of attention more likely to occur.
