Robert Krug says Dry's quotation not quite right

Robert Krug writes:
These facts are not quite right. Here is the full quote from MADD, referring to deaths in the entire United States, not just Kentucky: In 2013, a total of 1,149 children 14 and younger were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Of those 1,149 fatalities, 200 (17%) occurred in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes. Out of those 200 deaths, 121 (61%) were occupants of vehicles with drivers who had BACs (Blood alcohol content) of .08 or higher, and another 29 children (15%) were pedestrians or pedalcyclists struck by drivers with BACs of .08 or higher. NHTSA data query, 2013. - Robert Krug
