FOREWORD

2014 Michigan Traffic Crash Facts—Statewide

Traffic records improvement projects have been ongoing to streamline the process of data collection and processing. Current projects such as the Traffic Crash Reporting System (TCRS) Modernization and the Traffic Records Data Linkage strive to improve the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of data outputs, as well as integration of traffic records data systems.New technologies, including electronic data collection, increased error checking, quality assurance, and crash locating, are continually emerging and improving. By utilizing these technologies as they become available, the quality of Michigan’s traffic records data will continue to improve.

Please visit MichiganTrafficCrashFacts.org for easy access to crash data from 1992-2014.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2014 Michigan Traffic Crash Facts—Statewide

The 2014 traffic fatality count was 876, down 7.9 percent from the 2013 figure of 951. Compared with 2013, injuries were down 0.5 percent and total crashes were up 3.3 percent. These figures translated into a fatality rate of 1.01 per 100 million miles of travel, up 0.01 per-cent from 2013, and below the 10-year average of 1.09 (2005-2014).

Exposure factors in 2014 showed a decrease in vehicle miles traveled, and increases in vehicle registrations and licensed drivers. Vehicle miles traveled were down 8.4 percent to 87.1 billion, motor vehicle registrations increased 0.4 percent to 8.2 million, and the number of licensed drivers was up 0.5 percent to 7.1 million.

Seat belt use in Michigan was observed at 93.3 percent. Alcohol-involved crashes continued to present a problem and contributed to 27.5 percent of all fatal crashes. Crashes involving alcohol made up 3.1 percent of all crashes, and while 17.9 percent of all crashes resulted in injury or death, 40.3 percent of alcohol-involved crashes resulted in injury or death.

Information compiled in this report was gathered from the Michigan Traffic Crash Report forms (UD-10) submitted by local police departments, sheriff offices, and the Michigan Department of State Police. Other related information was obtained from the Departments of Transportation, State, and Community Health.

The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute produced this publication with data on file at the Michigan Department of State Police Criminal Justice Information Center as of April 14, 2015. We acknowledge, with appreciation, all involved agencies for their assistance.

All information, records of interviews, written reports, statements, notes, memoranda, or other data collected pursuant to the scientific studies and research conducted by the state, or by other persons, agencies, or organizations authorized by OHSP shall be used solely for the purpose of medical or scientific research and shall not disclose the name or identity of a person unless the person authorizes, in writing, the use of his or her name or identity. If a subject of the research study is deceased, the executor or heir of the deceased person may authorize, in writing, the disclosure of the deceased’s name or identity. The furnishing of information to OHSP or to a representative of an authorized study or research project shall not subject a person, hospital, sanitarium, rest home, nursing home, or other person or agency furnishing the information to any action for damages or other relief. The information, records, reports, statements, notes, memoranda, or other data shall not be admissible as evidence in a court or before any other tribunal, board, agency, or person. A person participating in an authorized study or research project shall not disclose, directly or indirectly, the information so obtained except in strict conformity with the research project.

HAD-BEEN-DRINKING CRASHES BY INJURY SEVERITY

The majority of crashes do not involve injury (82.1%). Possible (C) injury crashes represent about two thirds of those that do involve injury.

The problem of the drinking driver, pedestrian, and/or cyclist is seen by comparing the two charts on this page. For all had-been-drinking crashes, injury levels are greater, and a fatality in the crash is eight times more likely when one of the crash-involved operators is reported as had-been-drinking (HBD).

Occupants in had-been-drinking crashes

The majority of occupants involved in crashes are not injured (85.9%). About 71% percent of those who are injured receive only possible (C) injuries.

Crashes involving drinking tend to be more serious than nondrinking crashes. The percentage of occupant fatalities is thirteen times higher than in all crashes and the incapacitating injury level (A) is about five times higher.

As shown by the two charts above, death and injury are much more likely when drivers are ejected from vehicles.

When compared to the charts above, the had-been-drinking charts demonstrate that injury severity is much worse for drivers in a crash where drinking is reported in both ejected and non-ejected events.

BICYCLE HELMET USE AND INJURY SEVERITY

The National Center for Statistics and Analysis of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cites a study by the Centers for Disease Control [12]: “Bicycle helmets are 85 to 88 percent effective in mitigating head and brain injuries in all types of bicycle accidents, making the use of helmets the single most effective countermeasure available to reduce head injuries and fatalities resulting from bicycle crashes.”

CRASH RATE PER LICENSED DRIVER BY AGE OF DRIVER IN ALL CRASHES

2014 Michigan Traffic Crash Facts—Statewide

Note: Data entry errors resulted in an over-representation of age “100+” drivers

* Excludes 45,237 drivers with unknown age

Licensed drivers age 18 have the highest crash rate at 0.138 (total crashes in age group divided by total number of licensed drivers in age group). The lower crash rates of the older groups (per licensed driver) may reflect reduced driving and exposure to the risk of a crash.

Page 153: MTCFpublications.michigantrafficcrashfacts.org/2014/MTCFVol1.pdfThe 2014 traffic fatality count was 876, down 7.9 percent from the 2013 figure of 951. Compared with 2013, injuries

HEAVY TRUCK/BUS INVOLVED CRASHES

2014 Michigan Traffic Crash Facts—Statewide

These crashes involve a heavy truck/bus - defined as having a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 10,000 lbs.

Heavy truck/bus crashes differ from other vehicle crashes in a number of ways, many reflecting the size and use of these vehicles. When compared to the overall crash picture, heavy truck/bus crashes involve:

• More turning, backing, and changing lanes as the Truck/Bus Driver Action Prior.

• More collisions with fixed object (bridge/pier/abutments), nonfixed object (parked motor vehicles, jackknife, cargo loss/shift), and other non-collisions as the Most Harmful Event.

• Fewer collisions with fixed objects (ditches, trees), and nonfixed object (animals).

• Fewer single-vehicle crashes but more sideswipes.

• Fewer drivers indicated to be speeding, failing to yield, reckless driving, disregarding traffic control, and unable to stop in assured clear distance, but more drivers indicated to be making backing, lane use, and turning errors.

• Fewer crashes outside of the shoulder/curb.

• More crashes between the hours of 6:00 AM and 2:59 PM, and fewer crashes between 3:00 PM and 5:59 AM.

• More weekday crashes and a drop in weekend crashes.

2011 Michigan motor vehicle crash data represents the last full year of data that was collected during Michigan’s universal helmet law, enacted in 1969: Michigan Vehicle Code Public Act 300 of 1949, Section 257.658, requiring all motorcycle riders to wear a helmet. On April 13, 2012, Michigan changed their helmet law from a universal to a partial helmet law. The partial law allows some certified Michigan riders, who are over 21 and carry additional insurance, to ride without a helmet.

Group “A” is any vehicle that is towing a vehicle or trailer that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 10,000 lbs.

Group “B” is any single vehicle (including buses) with a GVWR of 26,001 lbs. or more. This would include a combination of vehicles with a combined GVWR over 26,000 lbs. when towing a trailer that has a GVWR of 10,000 lbs. or less.

Group “C” is any single vehicle with a GVWR of less than 26,001 lbs. or a combination of vehicles having a combined GVWR under 26,001 lbs. when the vehicle is required to display placards for hazardous material or designed to carry 16 passengers (including driver). Group “C” is also any vehicle carrying 15 or less people (including driver) transporting children to or from school and home on a regular basis for compensation.
