Drug Use Linked to Fatal Accidents

Norfolk in recent years has had more than its fair share of alcohol-related deaths on our roads. Drinking and driving is never justified, even if you make it safely to your destination, as it can lead you to believe that buzzed driving is harmless. It’s not, and if you continue to do so, it’s only a matter of time before you hurt yourself or someone else. However, alcohol isn’t the only type of inebriation that can kill on the roads.

According to a recent Auto Insurance Center, there were more than 900 fatalities in 2014 that involved marijuana-use. In fact, vehicular deaths involving marijuana were 3 times more common than any other illegal substance. These statistics are a reminder that any type of inebriation and driving can be a deadly mix, and we won’t stand for it here in Norfolk.
