Auto Accident Personal Injury Rates On The Rise
In 2000, 41,821 people lost their lives in an auto accident, and 3,189,000 people were injured in these same auto accidents. Again, that's over three million injuries resulting from auto accidents. An average of 115 persons died each day in automobile accidents in 2000. That's one fatality every 13 minutes. Auto accidents are the leading cause of death for every age from 4 through 33 years old. Vehicle occupants accounted for 87 percent of traffic fatalities in 2000, the remaining 13 percent were pedestrians, pedalcyclists, and other nonoccupants. Although large trucks account for only three percent of all registered vehicles, collisions involving large trucks accounted for nine percent of all 1997 traffic fatalities. And while many may tout that accident rates have fallen since 1991, in actuality, the number of fatalities has increased. It is small wonder that concern about the safety of trucks, buses and SUV's on our roads is increasing.
Alcohol Related Auto Accident
In 2000 there were 16,653 fatalities in alcohol-related auto accidents. This is a 4 percent increase compared to 1999, and it represents an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 32 minutes. The 16,653 alcohol-related fatalities in 2000 (40 percent of total traffic fatalities for the year) represent a 25 percent reduction from the 22,084 alcohol-related fatalities reported in 1990 (50 percent of the total). NHTSA estimates that alcohol was involved in 40 percent of fatal auto accidents and in 8 percent of all auto accidents in 2000. In 2000, 31 percent of all auto accident fatalities occurred in crashes in which at least one driver or nonoccupant had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 grams per deciliter (g/dl) or greater.
