• Abstract:
  The personal and socioeconomic effect of motor vehicle crashes is a continuing concern in the state of Utah, with special focus on reducing the tragedy of injury and death. In 2004, Utah made notable progress in the following areas when compared to 2003: Utah experienced an 8% decrease in the rate of motor vehicle crash fatalities, marking a new all-time low; The percentage of children (aged 0 to 8 years) involved in crashes that were restrained in child safety seats increased 3% overall, 6% for children aged 2 to 4 years, and 9% for children aged 5 to 8 years; The percentage of fatal teenage-driver crashes dropped to 16%, marking a ten-year low. As improvements are made and progress continues, traffic safety needs to remain a top priority in Utah. In Utah during 2004: Rural crashes were 5 times more likely to result in a fatality than crashes in urban areas; More than half (53%) of the persons killed in a crash were unbelted, and unbelted occupants were 31 times more likely to be killed in a crash than belted occupants; Utah experienced a 16% increase in the rate of motorcycle crashes.
