  • Abstract:
    1999 Facts and Figures; 744 persons were killed in Wisconsin motor vehicle traffic crashes. (36% involved Alcohol, 27% involved Speed, and 14% involved both Speed and Alcohol). 61,577 persons were injured in 41,345 reported injury crashes and 674 fatal crashes. An average of 2.0 persons were killed every day on Wisconsin highways. The fatality rate per 100 million miles of travel was 1.31 in 1999, compared to 1.26 in 1998. Of the 439 drivers who were killed and tested for alcohol concentration, 159 drivers (36%) had an alcohol concentration of .10 or above. 55 pedestrians were killed, compared to 64 in 1998. Of 55 pedestrians killed, 9 (16%) had an alcohol concentration of .10 or above. 18 bicyclists were killed, compared to 11 in 1998. 65 motorcyclists were killed, the same number as in 1998. 39% of persons killed in passenger cars (for whom belt use was reported) were using safety restraints. 73% of all motorcyclists killed in crashes (for whom helmet use was reported) were not wearing helmets. 60% of all crashes occurred on county trunk highways and local roads. The total number of registered vehicles was 4,713,643 compared to 4,449,217 in 1998 (a 5.9% increase). The total number of licensed drivers was 3,733,077 compared to 3,709,957 in 1998 (a 0.6% increase). NOTE: The definition of a "reportable crash" changed starting January 1, 1996. For a Property Damage Only crash, the reporting threshold was raised from $500 to $1,000 to "any one person's property". Government-owned property changed to $1,000 for government-owned vehicles, and remained at $200 for all other government-owned property. This change in the threshold most likely contributed to the decline in property damage crashes (and therefore, total crashes) as compared to prior years.
