Yes because In the decade of 2000-2009, 27 percent of the victims in crashes involving 15 to 20 year old drivers were riding as passengers with a young driver. The chances a 16-year-old will die in a crash increase39 percent with one teen passenger,86 percent with two teen passengers, and182 percent with three or more teen passengers.
The latter question does not state that the total is out of 100, so in effect it could be 50 accidents out of a million were the result of alcohol. Also, the first question states that the person who caused the accident was a drunk driver, however the second does not make this point. As such an incident could be said to involve alcohol because a drunk person walked across the road and caused someone to swerve etc.
In 2009, about 32% of car crashes involve alcohol, which is a legally available drug. That would be around 11,000 deaths. Other drug impairment data is much harder to come by due to the difficulty in testing for those chemicals in the body. One would not be wrong if the estimate would be between 40 to 50% of deaths related to one or more drivers involved in a fatal crash might be impaired by alcohol, antihistamines, marijuana, barbiturates, depressants, etc. Estimates range from 14,000 to 16,000 deaths per year. It might even be higher. This is according to research conducted by the US DOT, National Accident Sampling System.
there were 3 plane crashes in 2006
Below are the stats as quoted from NHTSA. 25% had .08 BAC or higher in 2008. "In 2008, 31 percent of the young drivers (15 to 20 years old) who were killed in crashes had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or higher; 25 percent had a BAC of .08 or higher."

Two-thirds of all motor vehicle fatalities between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. occurred in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes, and more than half (55%) of drivers involved in fatal crashes at those hours, were alcohol-impaired.
Every day, 36 people in the United States die, and approximately 700 more are injured, in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver.
