  • Abstract:
    The 2007 LOUISIANA TRAFFIC RECORDS DATA REPORT indicates the following occurrence rates for 2007: 895 fatal crashes, 987 fatalities, 78.9 thousand injuries 110.6 thousand property-damage-only crashes These crashes resulted in • a cost of $6.18 billion dollars to the citizens of Louisiana a cost of $2,177 for every licensed driver in Louisiana The main contributing factors to Louisiana’s 2007 traffic fatalities were alcohol and a low-percentage use of safety belts. The traffic-record data show the relationship of each contributing factor to fatalities: 49% of traffic 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 differences in the availability of data and model used to estimate the missing alcohol values. Traffic reports received prior to May 20, 2008 form the basis of this report. Due to missing information and record errors, the table values may differ from the true values. Tables affected by these concerns contain relating comments.
