*A crash is considered as alcohol-related if either a driver or a nonoccupant
(pedestrian or pedalcyclist) had a blood alcohol concentraition (BAC) of 0.01
g/dl or greater. When alcohol tests were not done or test results are unknown,
imputed BAC data provided by NHTSA are used.

** Data for all ages include cases for which age was unknown.
