TLDR
Culpability analysis was conducted on 5000 drivers injured as a result of a vehicular collision and in whom comprehensive toxicology testing in blood was conducted, finding that drivers that had combinations of impairing drugs generally gave a large increase in odds.About:

TL;DR: The vast majority of injury-causing MVCs involving young drivers are initiated by those drivers, characterized by male drivers with little driving experience who are operating old cars on rural roads at excessive speeds.

Cannabis Legalization and Detection of Tetrahydrocannabinol in Injured Drivers
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied drivers treated after a motor vehicle collision in four British Columbia trauma centers, with data from January 2013 through March 2020, and calculated the prevalence of all outcomes before and after legalization.

Journal ArticleDOI
Acute cannabis consumption and motor vehicle collision risk: systematic review of observational studies and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Acute cannabis consumption is associated with an increased risk of a motor vehicle crash, especially for fatal collisions, and could be used as the basis for campaigns against drug impaired driving, developing regional or national policies to control acute drug use while driving, and raising public awareness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose related risk of motor vehicle crashes after cannabis use
TL;DR: Combined use of THC and alcohol produced severe impairment of cognitive, psychomotor, and actual driving performance in experimental studies and sharply increased the crash risk in epidemiological analyses, suggesting that recent use of cannabis may increase crash risk, whereas past use of Cannabis does not.

TL;DR: There were non-significant, weakly positive associations of opiates and benzodiazepines with culpability, and drivers showing the highest culpability rates were in the under 25 and over 65 age groups.

Alcohol-related relative risk of driver fatalities and driver involvement in fatal crashes in relation to driver age and gender: an update using 1996 data.
TL;DR: This is the first study that systematically estimated relative risk for drink-drivers with BACs between 0.08% and 0.10% (these relative risk estimates apply to BAC range midpoints at 0.09%.) the results clearly show that drivers with a BAC under 0.

TL;DR: It is concluded that drug use, especially alcohol, benzodiazepines and multiple drug use and drug-alcohol combinations, among vehicle drivers increases the risk for a road trauma accident requiring hospitalisation.
