5 INTRODUCTION This document contains eleven fact sheets that provide concise information and statistics related to traffic safety and motor vehicle related events. Information in these fact sheets is based on data from the Illinois Department of Transportation, 2010 Traffic Crash Report database. These fact sheets can be downloaded from the Illinois Department of Transportation website at or from the Illinois Emergency Medical Services for Children website at Grant funding from the Illinois Department of Transportation supported the development of these fact sheets which were created by Illinois Emergency Medical Services for Children (a collaborative program between the Illinois Department of Public Health and Loyola University Medical Center).

7 Quick Facts Illinois Crash Information 2012 Children (Aged 14 & Younger) Motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of mortality and severe injury for children in Illinois. Children aged 14 and younger were involved in 28,682 (10.5%) of all 274,291 crashes that occurred in Illinois in 2012, either as passengers, drivers, pedestrians, pedalcyclists or other non-occupants of vehicles. Children accounted for 37 (3.9%) of all 956 traffic fatalities overall. They accounted for 37 (10.4%) of all 357 fatalities among passengers, pedestrians, pedalcyclists and other non-occupants. All Fatally Injured Total Children Aged Total Children Aged All Ages 14 & Younger All Ages 14 & Younger N N (%) N N (%) Passengers 167,398 44,393 (26.5) (13.9) Pedestrians 5, (15.2) (4.3) Pedalcyclists 3, (16.3) 29 5 (17.2) Other non-occupants (24.2) 2 0 (0.0) Subtotal 176,019 45,747 (26.0) (10.4) Drivers 473, (<0.1) (0.0) Total 649,023 45,860 (7.1) (3.9) Demographics Where age & sex were known, 21,826 (49.4%) of all 44,212 child passengers and 872 (64.4%) of all 1,354 child non-occupants aged 14 & younger were male. Children aged 8 to 14 who were involved in crashes in any capacity other than as drivers were 1.5 times as likely to be non-fatally injured but only 0.9 times as likely to be fatally injured as those aged 7 & younger. Safety Equipment Use by Child All Crashes 28.8% 27.5% 26.9% 27.3% Note: Data as of March 28, 2014; with 274,291 crash records, 511,337 vehicle records and 649,023 person records. The law regarding the reporting threshold for Property Damage Only crashes was amended effective January 1, 2009, resulting in decreased reporting of crashes in this specific category.

9 Geographic Facts Children (Aged 14 & Younger), Page 3 Just 4,332 (15.8%) of all 27,362 crashes involving child passengers took place in Chicago. Alternatively, 73,083 (29.6%) of all 246,929 crashes in which no child passenger was involved occurred in Chicago. In contrast, 488 (36.9%) of all 1,324 crashes involving child non-occupants such as pedestrians and pedalcyclists took place in Chicago, compared with 76,927 (28.2%) of all 272,967 crashes in which no child non-occupant was involved.
