Abstract:
2005 Facts and Figures • 801 persons were killed in Wisconsin motor vehicle traffic crashes. This is an average of over two lives lost each day on Wisconsin traffic arteries. • 53,462 persons were injured in 37,515 reported injury crashes and 700 fatal crashes. 5,129, or 10%, of those injured were known at the time of the crash to have sustained incapacitating injuries. • Of the 801 persons killed, 7% (42 pedestrians and 14 bicyclists) were not drivers or passengers of motor vehicles. Eleven percent (92) were motorcycle drivers or motorcycle passengers. • Of the 801 persons killed, 41% died in alcohol-related crashes. 34% died in speed-related crashes and 18% died in crashes that involved both speed and alcohol. • Of the 536 drivers who were killed and tested for alcohol concentration, 190 drivers (35%) 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. • 76% of all motorcyclists killed in crashes (for instances in which helmet use could be determined) were not wearing helmets. • Sixty-one 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 107,866 (86%) of these crashes. • The total number of registered vehicles was 5,371,800 a 2% increase over 2004. •The total number of licensed drivers was 4,049,450, a 3% increase over 2004. • The fatality rate per 100 million miles of travel was 1.33.
