  • Abstract:
    The 2008 LOUISIANA TRAFFIC RECORDS DATA REPORT indicates the following ; occurrence rates for 2008: ; • 818 fatal crashes ; • 913 fatalities ; • 75.9 thousand injuries ; • 110.6 thousand property-damage-only crashes ; These crashes resulted in ; • a cost of $6.43 billion dollars to the citizens of Louisiana ; • a cost of $2,264 for every licensed driver in Louisiana ; The main contributing factors to Louisiana’s 2007 traffi c fatalities were alcohol and a ; low-percentage use of safety belts. The traffi c-record data show the relationship of each ; contributing factor to fatalities: ; • 49% of traffi c fatalities were alcohol related. ; • 68% of occupants who died in a crash did not use a safety belt. ; The alcohol-related fatal crashes and fatalities data are estimated using a data ; mining algorithm developed at LSU. These results may deviate from results reported by ; FARS due to diff erences in the availability of data and model used to estimate the missing ; alcohol values. ; Traffi c reports received prior to May 20, 2009 form the basis of this report. Due to ; missing information and record errors, the table values may diff er from the true values. ; Tables aff ected by these concerns contain relating comments.
