Why Investigators Examine Potential Impairment Following a Crash. Following a major accident, investigators check if alcohol or drugs impaired any of the drivers involved. Impairment can alter a driver’s response to traffic signals, nearby vehicles, and road hazards. Substances impacting the body can slow reaction time and diminish attention. Drivers might also find it hard to gauge speed or distance, raising the risk of an accident. Post-collision evidence consists of vehicle locations, road markings, and witness statements from those present.
