GENERAL FACTS The driver, the roadway, and the motor vehicle contribute in some measure to every crash. A preponderance of evidence, however, points to driver error as a chief cause in the majority of crashes. There were 312,172 crashes, of which 980 (0.3%) were fatal, 57,964 (18.6%) were personal injury, and 253,228 (81.1%) were property damage only. Compared to 2015 this is a 5.1 percent increase in total crashes, an increase of 9.7 percent in fatal crashes, a 7.3 percent increase in personal injury crashes, and a 4.6 percent increase in property damage crashes. A total of 1,064 people were killed as a result of the 980 fatal crashes for an average of 1.1 deaths per fatal crash. One out of every 9,331 people in Michigan was killed in a traffic crash; one out of every 125 people was injured. For each person killed, 74.9 people were injured in crashes. There were 5,634 people who received suspected serious injuries, which prevent normal activities and require hospitalization. A total of 538,412 motor vehicles were involved in 312,172 reported crashes. More male drivers were involved in crashes than female drivers. Of the 275,382 male drivers involved in crashes, 1,059 (0.4%) were involved in fatal crashes. Of the 221,200 female drivers involved in crashes, 445 (0.2%) were involved in fatal crashes. Of the 882 motor vehicle drivers involved in fatal crashes where a hazardous action occurred, excessive speed was reported by police as the hazardous action for 194 (22.0%) of the drivers. Of the 980 fatal crashes, 300 (30.6%) occurred at intersections. Most fatal crashes occurred on dry roadways (75.6%) and in clear weather conditions (62.1%). The majority of all crashes occurred during daylight (63.0%). There were 59 (6.0%) fatal crashes during both the 3:00-3:59 PM and the 6:00-6:59 PM time periods, more than any other time period. The most fatal crashes, 174 (17.8%), occurred on Saturday. Of the 1,064 traffic crash deaths, 658 (61.8%) were drivers of vehicles, 203 (19.1%) were passengers in motor vehicles, 165 (15.5%) were pedestrians, and 38 (3.6%) were bicyclists. Of the 683 drivers and passengers killed where seat belt data was collected, 206 (30.2%) were not wearing seat belts and 364 (53.3%) were wearing seat belts. It is unknown whether 113 (16.5%) of the fatalities were belted. A traffic crash was reported every 1 minute and 41 seconds. One person was killed every 8 hours and 15 minutes as a result of a traffic crash. One person was injured every 6 minutes and 37 seconds in a traffic crash. There were 522 deaths that resulted from 494 single-vehicle fatal crashes.

Children ages 0-15 According to 2015 data provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the number one cause of unintentional fatal injuries for children ages 1-24 in Michigan is motor vehicle crashes. There were 49,678 licensed drivers below the age of 16 who represented 0.7 percent of Michigan s driving population. Drivers in this age group represented 0.2 percent (837) of drivers in all crashes and 0.1 percent (2) of drivers in fatal crashes. A total of 38 children (0-15 years old) were killed in motor vehicle crashes, including two drivers age 14. The 0-15 age group accounted for 3.6 percent of all traffic deaths. crash Injury severity in Children Ages 0-15 KILLED: 38 (0.7%) suspected serious INJURIES: 353 (6.0%) In addition, 5,800 children were injured in motor vehicle crashes. Restraint usage among drivers and injured passengers age 0-15, as reported to police at the scene of a traffic crash, was 92.1%. The age group with the lowest restraint usage was children under one (86.2%). 1,367 (23.4%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 4,080 (69.9%) Children accounted for 7.3 percent (12) of the pedestrians killed in Michigan, and 20.8 percent (386) of all pedestrian injuries. There were no bicyclist fatalities among children under 16 years of age. This age group accounted for 377 (24.7%) of all injured bicyclists.

Teens/young adults ages 16-20 Inexperience, risk-taking behavior, immaturity, and greater risk exposure are all factors that increase crash risk for young drivers. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, crashes are the leading cause of death and account for almost one third of all deaths among people age 16-19. Injury severity in Motor Vehicle crashes with a Driver age 16-20 KILLED: 147 (0.8%) 4,220 (24.3%) There were 471,135 licensed drivers ages 16-20 who represented 6.6 percent of Michigan s driving population. The drivers in this age group represented 11.1 percent (59,865) of drivers in all crashes and 8.9 percent (139) of drivers in fatal crashes. suspected serious INJURIES: 1,052 (6.1%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 11,919 (68.7%) The 16-20 age group accounted for 9.7 percent (103) of all traffic deaths, and 56.3 percent (58) of those deaths were drivers. In addition, 10,119 teenagers and young adults were injured in motor vehicle crashes, representing 13.7 percent of all people injured in crashes. Generally, younger drivers were involved in more shoulder/outside curb crashes and had a higher incidence of speeding, overturn, inability to stop in assured clear distance, collision with a ditch, and hitting a tree. They were less likely to be alone in their car at the time of the crash. STUDENT 001 PARKING PERMIT The most common hazardous action coded for the 139 drivers age 16-20 who were involved in fatal crashes was speed too fast, with 23.0% (32) of the total. Weekends accounted for 22.3 percent of crash involvements for drivers age 16-20, compared with only 20.5 percent of crash involvements for drivers 21 and older. Teenagers and young adults accounted for 5.5 percent (9) of the pedestrians killed in Michigan, and 11.0 percent (203) of all pedestrian injuries. Four (10.5%) of the 38 bicyclist deaths were in the 16-20 age group.

Senior Drivers age 65 and Over In Michigan, 15.8 percent of residents are age 65 or older according to 2015 estimates from the Population Division of the U.S. Census Bureau. Safety problems for the older driver are directly tied to the aging process, including changes in vision, hearing, medication, cognition, and physical condition, which all contribute to driving errors. Injury severity in Motor Vehicle crashes with a Driver age 65 and over KILLED: 232 (1.5%) suspected serious INJURIES: 1,008 (6.5%) 3,729 (24.2%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 10,463 (67.8%) There were 1,437,067 licensed drivers age 65 and over who represented 20.0 percent of Michigan s active driving population. The drivers in this age group represented 9.7 percent (52,362) of drivers in all crashes and 14.2 percent (223) of drivers in fatal crashes. Older drivers were more involved in angle type crashes than younger drivers. Older drivers also had the highest incidence of failure to yield, disregard of traffic control, improper lane use, improper turn, and improper backing as a hazardous action in all crashes. A total of 227 people age 65 and over were killed in traffic crashes, and 136 (59.9%) of them were drivers. Of the pedestrians killed in Michigan, 21.8 percent (36) were age 65 and over; 7.7 percent (143) of the pedestrians injured were age 65 and over. In addition, 8,668 people age 65 and over were injured in traffic crashes, representing 10.9 percent of all people injured in crashes. Eight (21.1%) bicyclists out of the 38 total killed were age 65 and over. Drivers and injured passengers, age 65 to 110, had a seatbelt usage of 99.1%, as reported to police at the scene of a crash.

CELL PHONE USE* Cell phone use can be a distraction for the driver, the bicyclist, and the pedestrian. Cell phone use in crashes is measured by reported use, which is recorded by the police officer at the scene of the crash. A total of 1,912 crashes occurred in Michigan where a motor vehicle driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist was using a cell phone. Nine of those crashes involved a fatality. crashes where a Motor vehicle driver was using a cell phone A total of 1,893 motor vehicle drivers, 18 pedestrians, and seven bicyclists were reported to be using cell phones in the 1,912 crashes. Of the 18 pedestrians using a cell phone, one pedestrian was killed, five suffered a suspected serious injury, seven suffered a suspected minor injury, and three suffered a possible injury. Of the 1,893 motor vehicle drivers using cell phones, 347 (18.3%) were 20 years of age or younger. There were 873 (45.7%) rear-end crashes where a driver was using a cell phone. Of the total 1,912 crashes involving cell phone use, 360 (18.8%) also involved a lane departure. Of the total 1,912 crashes involving cell phone use, 821 (42.9%) were intersection related. 746 DRIVERS in 745 crashes 8 FATAL Crashes 682 DRIVERS in 681 crashes 3 FATAL Crashes 663 DRIVERS in 662 crashes 2 FATAL Crashes 750 DRIVERS in 749 crashes 3 FATAL Crashes 1,893 DRIVERS in 1,888 crashes 8 FATAL Crashes 2012 2013 2014 2015 There were 1,893 motor vehicle drivers using a cell phone in crashes: 1,619 passenger cars, 211 pickup trucks, 20 trucks or buses over 10,000 lbs., 14 small trucks under 10,000 lbs., six vans or motorhomes, three motorcycles, four vehicle types coded as other, and 16 uncoded and errors. *In, the data field measuring cell phone use was changed to include multiple distraction elements. Increases in the number of cell phone crashes in may be the result of the police report change.

Alcohol A crash is alcohol-related if any driver, pedestrian, or cyclist involved was reported as had-been-drinking (HBD) by the police officer on the Traffic Crash Report. Crash severity in hbd crashes Crash severity in All crashes Fatal: 254 (6.0%) Suspected serious INJURIES: 717 1,529 (36.3%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 1,716 (40.7%) Fatal: 980 (1.7%) suspected serious INJURIES: 4,565 15,561 (26.4%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 37,838 (64.2%) Of the 980 fatal crashes that occurred in Michigan, 254 (25.9%) were alcohol-related, involving at least one drinking operator, bicyclist, or pedestrian. There were 274 alcohol-related fatalities, which accounts for 25.8 percent of the total number of people killed (1,064). The percentage of alcohol-related fatalities was about 8.8 times higher than fatalities in all crashes and the most serious injury level (suspected serious) was about 5.7 times higher. There were 171 (67.3%) crashes involving one vehicle out of the 254 alcohol-related fatal crashes. Of the 165 pedestrian deaths, 54 (32.7%) were the result of an HBD crash and 44 (81.5%) of those pedestrians had been drinking. There were 141 motorcyclist deaths, and 35 (24.8%) of those deaths were the result of an HBD crash.

Sunday had the highest proportion (37.2%) of alcohol-related fatalitites when compared to all fatalities occuring on Sunday.

BICYcles According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bicycle helmets are the single most effective countermeasure available to bicyclists to reduce head injuries and fatalities resulting from bicycle crashes. There were 1,988 bicyclists involved in motor vehicle crashes in Michigan in. There were 33 fatal crashes involving bicycists and 38 bicyclists were killed on Michigan roadways. A total of 1,526 bicyclist injuries in 1,509 crashes were reported by police on traffic crash records.

The highest number of vehicle-deer crashes occurred during November (8,943). Of the motor vehicle-deer crashes, 19,950 (42.6%) occurred during the fourth quarter of the year. Motor vehicle-deer involved crashes were highest during the 7:00-7:59 AM time period (4,732).

SEAT BELT USE Seat belt use by motorists is measured two ways: by what motorists report to police at the scene of a traffic crash (reported usage), and by observation surveys where motorists are unaware of the presence of researchers (observed usage). Reported INjury severity in Crashes where seat belts were used 469,775 NO INJURY (87.7%) Of the 544,484 reported drivers and passengers involved in crashes for which seat belt use was known, 536,172 (98.5%) were reported to have been using seat belts and 8,312 (1.5%) were reported to have not been using seat belts. POSSIBLE INJURIES: (8.9%) (2.7%) suspected serious INJURIES: (0.6%) KILLED: (0.1%) The reported percentage of male drivers and passengers (4,936) involved in crashes who did not wear seat belts out of all males in crashes for which seat belt use was known was 1.7 percent. The reported percentage of female drivers and passengers (3,193) involved in crashes who did not wear their seat belts out of all females in crashes for which seat belt use was known was 1.3 percent. Of the reported drivers and passengers in motor vehicles crashes under 25 years of age, 3,472 (2.4%) were not wearing seat belts. 01 194 47,419 14,619 3,195 364 When looking at known seat belt use for motor vehicle fatalities only, 206 people (36.1%) killed were not wearing seat belts. Of the fatalities, there were 174 drivers and passengers killed while not wearing a seat belt in the front seat, 30 people killed while not wearing a seat belt in the rear seat, and two people killed while not wearing seat belt in an other or unknown seating position. A total of 287 people in motor vehicle crashes were ejected while not wearing a seat belt. Of the 287 people ejected, 175 were drivers, 110 were injured passengers, and two were uninjured passengers. Of the unbelted people who were ejected 61 people (21.3%) were killed. A observational study by Wayne State University estimated statewide belt use at 92.8 percent.

Speeding Crashes involving speeding are the result of a hazardous action of speed too fast. The actual speeds of motor vehicles are not reported at the scene of the crash. In, there were 31,712 crashes involving speeding, which accounted for 10.2 percent of all crashes. INjury severity in Crashes Involving speeding Out of the 538,412 motor vehicle drivers involved in crashes, 32,052 (6.0%) had a hazardous action of speed too fast. In addition to the 32,052 motor vehicle drivers coded as speed too fast, 4 pedestrians and 8 bicyclists were also reported to be speeding at the time of the crash. Single motor vehicle crashes were the most common crash type associated with speed-involved crashes at 70.5 percent (22,372). SPEED LIMIT 55 KILLED: 215 (2.3%) 01 The highest number of excessive speed crashes occured during icy road conditions at 8,873 (28.0%), followed by snowy road condtions with 8,448 (26.6%). A total of 1,402 (4.4%) motor vehicle drivers were speeding and had also been drinking at the time of the crash. There were 277 (0.9%) motor vehicle drivers who were speeding and also using drugs. suspected serious INJURIES: 893 (9.4%) 2,675 (28.1%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 5,735 (60.3%) Excessive speed was a factor in 215 (20.2%) fatalities in motor vehicle crashes and 893 (15.9%) suspected serious injuries in. 194 In addition to the 32,052 crashes where speeding was a hazardous action, speed too slow was reported as a hazardous action for 329 crashes.

Red-light-running In a red-light-running crash, at least one motor vehicle driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist disregarded a traffic control classified as a signal, related to or within 150 feet of an intersection. INjury severity in Crashes with red-light-running There were a total of 6,267 crashes involving red-light-running in, which accounts for 2.0% of the total crashes for that year. The number of red-light running crashes increased 24.6 percent in the five-year period from 5,031 in 2012 to 6,267 in. The most common red-light-running crashes were angle crashes, which account for 81.4% of all red-light-running crashes. Red-light-running crashes commonly involved more than one motor vehicle (98.1%). 01 The number of motor vehicle drivers who had-been-drinking and also ran red lights in crashes was 146 (2.3%). The number of motor vehicle drivers who were using drugs and also ran red lights in crashes was 40 (0.6%). There were 17 (%) motorcycle drivers who failed to stop at a red light in. 194 Out of the 1,064 people killed, 41 (3.9%) were the result of a red-light-running crash. A total of 43 pedestrians and 71 bicyclists were involved in red-light-running crashes, with 2 (4.7%) pedestrians and 2 (2.8%) bicyclists killed. An additional 87 nonmotorists were injuried. KILLED: 41 (1.0%) suspected serious INJURIES: 266 (6.2%) 1,054 (24.6%) POSSIBLE INJURIES: 2,915 (68.2%) Of the 16,673 people involved in red-light-running crashes, 41 people were killed and 4,235 people were injured in.
