Three hundred and twenty-eight drivers who died in Baltimore City as the result of highway crashes were studied, using autopsy findings, police reports of the crashes, and driving records. Autopsy evidence of disease was not correlated with driver responsibility for the crash. Several findings indicate that a decreased ability to survive highway crashes caused older persons to be over-represented among fatally injured drivers. Almost one third of the drivers under 25 had 2 or more traffic convictions in the single year preceding their fatal crashes. Drivers who were at fault were almost five times as likely to have been drinking heavily before the crash as were drivers who were not at fault.
