Do drunk people regularly wonder around in the countryside or is driving massive trucks around population centres common?

I'm confused by this question.

Talking about pedestrian deaths implies an image of an upstanding citizen crossing a street and being hit by a car. But the vast majority of deadly accidents are people in a bad mental state wandering into highways.

A quick ChatGPT suggests about half of all these incidents clearly involve alchohol.
