• Description:
  The number of traffic fatalities decreased from 921 in 2008 to 894 in 2009, a 2.9% decrease. There was also a decrease in the mileage death rate (MDR) as well. It fell to an all time low of 1.84 deaths per hundred million vehicle miles of travel from 1.88 in 2008. Traffic fatalities are the most severe consequence of motor vehicle collisions, but even in non-fatal collisions, the cost in human suffering can be severe. There were 48,303 reported traffic injuries in 2009, up 2.9% from 2008. Traffic collisions are responsible for billions of dollars in economic loss
  
  to South Carolina each year. Economic loss as estimated in this publication includes property damage, medical costs and lost productivity, but does not include intangible costs such as grief and suffering. In 2009, $2.67 billion dollars in estimated loss was incurred which is a 1.5% decrease from 2008.
