"Some jurisdictions, including Arlington, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, saw their numbers of alcohol-impaired traffic fatalities double during that period. In Prince George’s, the number rose to 34, up from 17 in 2016, and the county continued to lead the region in both alcohol-related and overall traffic fatalities, according to the data. Most recently, three children were killed Dec. 30 when a speeding truck driven by a suspected drunken driver slammed into the car in which they were traveling in southern Prince George’s. The driver of the truck, who authorities say had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit, was charged with vehicular manslaughter."
