Drowsy driving is big killer in U.S. - Yahoo! News

  • Drowsy driving kills more than 1,550 people a year in the
    United States and causes 71,000 injuries, according to the
    National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which estimates
    there are 100,000 sleep-related crashes a year.


    Although studies have found the condition to be nearly
    impossible to fight off without a caffeinated beverage or a
    nap, a surprising number of people are ignorant of the dangers.


    "A lot of people roll down the window and turn on the radio
    when they get tired," said Darrel Drobnich, a spokesman for the
    National Sleep Foundation. "That's like saying, if I'm hungry,
    if I roll down the window I won't be hungry."
