"NOTES:  BAC values have been assigned by U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when alcohol test results are unknown.  Alcohol-related crashes pertain to the BAC of the driver and nonoccupants struck by motor vehicles.  For some years, numbers may not add to totals due to rounding. ",,,,,,,,,,,,
