AAA study: marijuana and fatal crashes
AAA spokesperson Daniel Armbruster joined Good Day Austin?s Casey Claiborne this weekend to talk about a new AAA study. According to AAA, ?A concerning number of Washington state drivers involved in fatal crashes are testing positive for recent use of marijuana, according to new research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The share of drivers who, after a fatal crash, tested positive for active THC ? the drug?s main psychoactive ingredient ? has doubled since the state legalized marijuana in December 2012. AAA believes the increase raises important traffic safety concerns for drivers across the country, because recreational marijuana use is now legal in 11 states and Washington, D.C.?
