Abstract:The South Dakota Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Summary was developed to provide
an overview of the South Dakota traffic accident picture, as well as make frequently
requested information available. Information from 2000 comprises the major portion of
the book; however, basic historic trends are also provided for reference.
The Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Summary is divided into two main sections,
Historical Trends and 2000 Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Profile. The Historical Trend
section provides information on alcohol involvement in motor vehicle accidents,
severity of injury by record type and sex of drivers involved in accidents. This section
also provides data on restraint usage and accident trends. The 2000 Traffic Accident
Profile section details the accident picture for 2000 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 Transportation. 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.
