Study finds methamphetamine in nearly one in ten drivers involved in fatal crashes in Victoria, Australia.

A decade-long study in Victoria, Australia, found that nearly one in ten drivers in fatal crashes had ice, or methylamphetamine, in their system. Analyzing data from almost 20,000 injured and over 1,500 deceased drivers, the study revealed methylamphetamine was the most common illicit drug, present in 12.3% of fatal crashes and 9.1% of injured drivers. The report highlights the need for more preventative measures, with higher incidences of drug-positive drivers seen in men and those aged 25 to 59.
