  • Abstract:
    The 2000 traffic fatality count was 1,382, down 0.3 percent from the 1999 figure of 1,386.

    Compared with 1999, injuries were down 2.2 percent and total crashes were up 2.2 percent.

    These figures translated into a death rate of 1.5 per 100 million miles of travel, the same as

    the 1999 death rate. Nationally, fatalities were up 4.1 percent.

    Exposure factors in 2000 showed increases in vehicle registrations, the number of drivers on

    Michigan roads, and travel mileage. They included motor vehicle registrations up 1.9 percent

    to 8.56 million, the number of licensed drivers is up 0.9 percent to 7.04 million, and vehicle

    travel mileage up 2.0 percent to 94.92 billion.

    Consumption of alcohol continues to be a major factor in Michigan crashes, particularly the

    more serious crashes. In 2000, 4.1 percent of all crashes, including property damage only,

    were reported to involve drinking, and 20.8 percent resulted in injury or death. However,

    44.1 percent of alcohol-related crashes involved injury or death, and 32.9 percent of fatal

    crashes involved drinking. Over 62.2 percent of alcohol-related fatal crashes involved only

    one vehicle, whereas only 31.1 percent of all crashes involved one vehicle.

    Data on crashes in this book was obtained from 2000 Michigan Traffic Crash Report Forms

    (UD-10) submitted by local police departments, sheriff jurisdictions, and the Department of

    State Police. Other related information was obtained from the Departments of

    Transportation, State, and Community Health.
