Abstract:The Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Summary is divided into two main sections, Historical
Trends and 2008 Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Profile. The Historical Trend section
provides information on alcohol involvement in motor vehicle crashes, severity of injury by
record type and sex of drivers involved in crashes. This section also provides data on
restraint usage and crash trends. The 2008 Traffic Crash Profile section details the crash
picture for 2008 as well as a glossary of terms. The South Dakota Crash Data System conforms to standards established by the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) guidelines. The purpose of MMUCC is to provide a standardized data set for describing crashes of motor vehicles that generates the necessary information to improve highway safety. By utilizing MMUCC, the highway safety community is making an explicit statement that comparable data from all states are crucial to our ability to identify problems and make improvements.
Information collected from crash reports is merged into a central computerized crash database. This data provides the basic information necessary for developing effective highway
and traffic safety programs.
