Abstract:The 2006 traffic fatality count was 1,084, down 4.0 percent from the 2005 figure of 1,129.
Compared with 2005, injuries were down 9.5 percent and total crashes were down 10.1
percent. These figures translated into a death rate of 1.04 per 100 million miles of travel.
Exposure factors in 2006 showed increases in the travel mileage and number of drivers on
Michigan roads, and a decrease in the in motor vehicle registrations. The number of licensed
drivers was up 0.3 percent to 7.2 million, and vehicle miles traveled was up 0.9 percent to
104.0 billion. Motor vehicle registrations were down 1.3 percent to 8.4 million.
Consumption of alcohol continues to be a major factor in Michigan crashes, particularly the
more serious crashes. In 2006, 4.0 percent of all crashes, including property damage only,
were reported to involve drinking. While 19.4 percent of all crashes resulted in injury or
death, 43.0 percent of alcohol-related crashes involved injury or death. 34.8 percent of fatal
crashes involved drinking.
Data on crashes in this book was obtained from 2006 Michigan Traffic Crash Report Forms
(UD-10) submitted by local police departments, sheriff’s offices, and the Department of State
Police. Other related information was obtained from the Departments of Transportation,
State, and Community Health.
