Abstract:Traffic collisions injured 6370 and killed 89 Alaskans during 2002. There were, on average, 36.5 crashes per day and 1.5 crashes per hour. One person died on Alaska highways every 4.1 days. There were 272 traffic collisions per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (per 100 million VMT)
and 1.82 fatal crashes per 100 million VMT in 2002. Fewer crash reports (12.5% less than the previous year) were processed by Department of Transportation staff in 2002. Of 13325 reported traffic collisions, 67.5% involved only property damage (no person injuries). In 27.8% of crashes, the most serious injuries were nonincapacitating (minor). In 4.1% of crashes, the most serious injuries were coded as incapacitating (major). Fatalities were reported in 0.6% of all crashes. Police agencies filed reports for 90.1% of crashes in this publication. Drivers reported 9.9%.
