Drinking and driving was the most frequent risk factor among fatal traffic cases analyzed in Campinas, Brazil, in 2026. The Campinas Municipal Development Company (Emdec) examined the causes of 19 cases among the 35 deaths recorded on urban roads through September.
Alcohol was a factor in eight cases, while speeding and driving without a license were identified in seven cases each. Together, the three factors claimed 14 lives. A single case may have more than one associated cause.
