3.5 Automobile Collisions <br />As shown in Chart 3-17 shows the degree of injury for vehicle colli- <br />sions. The highest degree of injury is property damage only at 60% of <br />all vehicle collisions, followed by a complaint of pain at 25%. The next <br />highest is other visible injury at 10% followed by severe injury at 2%. <br />The lowest degree of injury and yet most severe is fatal at less than 1%, <br />which is equal to 67 lives. Another 3% of collisions had null values and <br />cannot be categorized. Year -over -year quantities range from 2,832 to <br />4,306 reported vehicle collisions, averaging a combined 414 fatalities <br />and severe injuries each year. <br />2% 3% <br />60% <br />■ Not Stated <br />Not Stated <br />- <br />7 <br />576 <br />- <br />- <br />583 <br />Complaint of Pain <br />1,047 <br />820 <br />839 <br />816 <br />897 <br />4,419 <br />Fatal <br />17 <br />8 <br />8 <br />16 <br />18 <br />67 <br />Other Visible <br />397 <br />287 <br />431 <br />278 <br />316 <br />1,709 <br />Injury <br />Property Damage <br />Only <br />2,175 <br />1,643 <br />2,374 <br />2,074 <br />2,524 <br />10,790 <br />Severe Injury <br />68 <br />67 <br />78 <br />62 <br />72 <br />347 <br />Grand Total <br />3,704 <br />2,832 <br />4,306 <br />3,246 <br />3,827 <br />17,915 <br />M Complaint of Pain Table 3-8: Degree of Injury per Year <br />■ Fatal <br />12,000 <br />■ Other Visible Injury <br /><1% 10,000 <br />■ Property Damage <br />D% Only 8,000 <br />■ Severe Injury 6,000 <br />Chart 3-17 Degree of Injury for Automobile Collisions <br />Chart 3-18 shows the age of the vehicle occupants involved in the col- <br />lision. Similar to the pedestrian and bicycle data, a large percentage <br />of the collisions are missing age data. If the collisions without age data <br />are disregarded, then the age distribution may be what is expected <br />with the greatest number of collisions occurring with ages 15 to 28 <br />and gradually declining as people get older and typically become less <br />physically active. <br />4,000 <br />2,000 <br />0 • <br />1-14 15-28 29-42 43-56 57-70 71-84 85+ blank <br />or 0 <br />Chart 3-18: Automobile Collisions by Age <br />Chart 3-19 shows the total automobile collisions by day of week, re- <br />vealing that Wednesdays and Fridays tend to see more automobile <br />collisions. <br />56 <br />
