  • Abstract:
    2007 Facts and Figures

    737 persons were killed in Wisconsin motor vehicle traffic crashes. This is an average of

    just over two lives lost each day on Wisconsin traffic arteries. 50,676 persons were injured in 36,048 reported injury crashes and 655 fatal crashes. 4,982, or 10%, of those injured were known at the time of the crash to have sustained incapacitating injuries. • Of the 737 persons killed, 8% (52 pedestrians and 10 bicyclists) were not drivers or passengers of motor vehicles. Fourteen percent (106) were motorcycle drivers or motorcycle passengers. Of the 737 persons killed, 46% died in alcohol-related crashes, 34% died in speed related crashes and 21% died in crashes that involved both speed and alcohol. Of the 456 drivers who were killed and tested for alcohol concentration, 188 drivers (41%) had an alcohol concentration of .08 or above. 59% 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. 75% of all motorcyclists killed in crashes (for instances in which helmet use could be determined)

    were not wearing helmets. Fifty-seven percent of all crashes occurred off the State highway and Interstate systems, on county trunk and local roads. City police and county sheriffs responded to 107,759 (86%) of these crashes. The total number of registered vehicles was 5,455,985, a 2.4% increase over 2006. The total number of licensed drivers was 4,075,764 a .2% increase over 2006. The fatality rate per 100-million miles of travel was 1.24.
