This study investigated the presence of illegal drugs in the blood of 285 fatally injured drivers in Spain. Illegal drugs were
detected in 10.2% of all samples. Illicit drugs alone were detected in 2.5% and together with other substances in 7.7%. Cocaine
was the most common drug detected. The mean number (9S.D.) of substances detected was 2.691.2: consisting of 46 illegal
drugs, 14 alcohol cases and 16 medicines. Three concentration levels of the different substances have been established: low,
medium and high-toxic. In 68.9% of the samples in which an illegal drug was detected, a substance was also found at the
high-toxic level. The results show that illegal drugs are commonly detected in road accident victims.
