More Fatal Crashes from Drugs Than Alcohol:  A new report by the Governors Highway Safety Association has found that in 2016  there were more fatal automobile accidents involving drivers on drugs that there were for drivers using alcohol.  Alexa Lardieri of U.S. News reports that this was the first time that drugged drivers eclipsed drunk drivers for fatal accidents.  Marijuana was the most common drug found in drivers killed in auto accidents.  The report also found that the number of drunk drivers killed in auto accidents has been declining since 2006, while drugged drivers who died in accidents has increased.  The report's author notes that this has occurred as the use of marijuana has become normalized.
