Do you know which metro city in the U.S. is the most dangerous to drive in? From The Houston Chronicle's investigative report, Houston leads in vehicle-related fatalities than any other city with Dallas metro areas trailing as number two. Although Houston led the country with fatalities involving speeding, pedestrian deaths or traffic backups, Dallas ranks in the nation’s top three for alcohol and drug-involved deaths. In fact, in 2016, alcohol-impaired driving crashes alone accounted for 28 percent of all traffic-related deaths in the U.S. In 2016 in Texas, 811 drivers were killed with their known BAC results. It's clear that alcohol and drug-impaired driving is still a leading cause of death in traffic fatalities in the U.S. We must continue to push for stronger enforcement, awareness and reliable technology to reduce these numbers and leave our roadways safer.
