As Arizona drunk driving accident injury attorneys, we were glad that the American Automobile Association (AAA) went to such lengths to protect drivers from alcohol-related crashes on New Year’s Eve. According to a news report in Fox 10, AAA gave free tows of up to 10 miles starting at 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve until 6 a.m. the following morning. This “Tipsy Tow” service was free to everyone, including non-AAA members. Anyone can call (800) AAA-HELP to request a tow, including the driver, passengers, restaurant waitstaff who notice drivers who need help, friends, and family members. For other upcoming holidays, people should be aware that AAA offers these services many times throughout the year.
Arizona Car Accident Statistics
We are sorry to report that there were 223 people killed by drunk drivers in 2010, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). There were also more than 3,700 people injured. Alcohol-related crashes totaled 5,489 in the state in 2010. These accidents can be extremely dangerous and deadly, and we hope everyone will do their part to prevent them.
