Impaired Driving Kills in Texas | El Paso News
Description
Texas drivers are getting a sobering wake-up call this summer as the state battles a deadly rise in impaired driving — not just from alcohol, but from drugs like THC, cocaine, and Xanax. Over 1,200 lives were lost last year alone, including that of 19-year-old Carly Beatty, killed by a driver whose system tested positive for multiple substances. Law enforcement is ramping up training to detect drug-impaired drivers through telltale signs like smell, pupil dilation, and speech patterns. THC alone can dangerously slow reaction time and cloud judgment — even if you don’t look drunk. The bottom line? If you’ve used anything that could impair your driving, don’t drive. One simple choice could save a life — and a family.
