Abstract:Based on the Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) system, an estimated average of 2,449 people were killed each year in non-traffic motor vehicle crashes during the 5-year period from 2016 to 2020. About a third (35%) of those people killed were nonoccupants such as pedestrians and bicyclists. Additionally, on average, an estimated 86,920 people were injured in these crashes each year, again of which about a third (33%) were nonoccupants. In this 5-year period, 2020 has the lowest number of people injured in non-traffic crashes and the highest number of people killed in non-traffic crashes – a phenomenon also observed in other National Highway Traffic Safety Administration traffic crash data systems, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), possibly because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related lockdown.
