Abstract:
In 2009, the death rate on Nebraska roadways was 1.2 persons killed per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. The death rate in Nebraska, from 1961 to 2009 is represented in Figure 1. Even though the death rate fluctuates from year to year, there has been a general downward trend. Much of this reduction can be attributed to improvements in vehicle design, roadway

engineering, emergency medical services, specific safety programs, enforcement and improved driver awareness. Figure 2 (page 3) depicts the number of fatal crashes per year for the

last 10 years. There were 205 fatal crashes in 2009, 17 more than were recorded in 2008.

Fatal accidents make up only a small portion of the total crashes in Nebraska. Property damage only (PDO) crashes make up the majority. Figure 3 (page 3) shows the percentage distribution of all crash types. In 2009, there were 205 fatal crashes, 12,211 injury crashes, and 22,249

property damage only crashes. Fatal crashes made up .6% of all accidents, and injury and PDO crashes made up 35.2% and 64.2%, respectively.
