Note:
The Alcohol Involved indicator was expanded to include a new field called “Contributing Factor.” This revision required that the Alcohol Suspected and Contributing Factor would both need to be marked ‘Yes’ to have the crash reflect that it was an Alcohol Involved crash. The same workflow would be true for Drug Involved crashes. Upon further review of the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) definition for crashes involving Alcohol, the federal guideline indicates a crash involving Alcohol should be identified whenever there is any presence, not that it necessarily contributed to the crash. The same holds true for Drug involved.
MMUCC Definitions:
Alcohol: Law enforcement suspected or documented that at least one driver or non-motorist involved in the crash had used alcohol. Includes both alcohol use under the legal limit and at or over the legal limit.
Drug: Driver or non-motorist involved in the crash suspected by law enforcement to have used drugs.
