Abstract:The South Dakota Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Summary was developed to provide an
overview of the South Dakota traffic crash picture, as well as make frequently requested
information available. Information from 2003 comprises the major portion of the book;
however, basic historic trends are also provided for reference. The Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Summary is divided into two main sections, Historical Trends and 2003 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 2003 Traffic Crash Profile section details the crash picture for 2003 as well as a glossary of terms. The majority of the information in this book is provided by the Accident Records Section within the Department of Public Safety. Current state law requires an accident report be filed for each motor vehicle traffic accident resulting in the death or injury of a person, or property damage to an apparent extent of one thousand dollars or more to any one person's property or two thousand dollars accumulated damage per accident. (The reporting threshold for property damage only accidents increased from $500 to $1,000 on July 1, 2000). Law enforcement agencies provide the accident reports to Accident Records. These reports are available to the public for a search fee of four dollars.
