Abstract:2009 Facts and Figures: 542 persons were killed in Wisconsin motor vehicle traffic crashes. This is an average of just over one life lost each day on Wisconsin traffic arteries. 41,589 persons were injured in 29,907 reported injury crashes and 488 fatal crashes. 3,854, or 9%, of those injured were known at the time of the crash to have sustained incapacitating injuries. Of the 542 persons killed, 8% (35 pedestrians and 7 bicyclists) were not drivers or passengers of motor vehicles. Fifteen percent (82) were motorcycle drivers or motorcycle passengers. Of the 542 persons killed, 44% died in alcohol-related crashes, 34% died in speed-related crashes and 18% died in crashes that involved both speed and alcohol. Of the 355 drivers who were killed and tested for alcohol concentration, 135 drivers (38%) had an alcohol concentration of .08 or above. 58% of persons killed in passenger car and light truck crashes (for instances in which
safety belt use could be determined) were not using safety restraints.
