EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The 2016 traffic fatality count was 1,064, up 10.5 percent from the 2015 figure of 963. Compared with 2015, injuries were up 7.5 percent and total crashes were up 5.1 percent. These figures translated into a fatality rate of 1.1 per 100 million miles of travel, up 9.0 percent from 2015, and above the 10-year average of 0.97 (2007-2016).

Exposure factors in 2016 showed an increase in vehicle miles traveled, vehicle registrations, and licensed drivers. Vehicle miles traveled were up 1.4 percent to 99.2 billion, motor vehicle registrations increased 1.5 percent to 8.4 million, and the number of licensed drivers was up 0.3 percent to 7.2 million.

Seat belt use in Michigan was observed at 94.5 percent. Alcohol-involved crashes continued to present a problem and contributed to 25.9 percent of all fatal crashes. Crashes involving alcohol made up 3.1 percent of all crashes, and while 18.9 percent of all crashes resulted in injury or death, 43.2 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 Health and Human Services.

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 October 3, 2017. We acknowledge, with appreciation, all involved agencies for their assistance.

2015 COST OF CRASHES IN MICHIGAN

The cost estimate for Michigan crashes in 2015 was $38,885,100,200. This estimate is based on the National Safety Council’s cost estimating procedures. Average comprehensive costs are based on the following national figures:

Comprehensive Costs, 2015

Death $10,082,000

Suspected Serious Injury $1,103,000

Suspected Minor Injury $304,000

Possible Injury $141,000

No Injury $46,600

These cost estimates are not intended for comparisons to previous years. The National Safety Council made revisions to the cost model starting in 2014 that take advantage of data sources not previously available. Deaths and injuries are calculated by number of persons. “No injury” is calculated per crash.

Note: Cost of crash data for 2016 is not yet available. Information on the cost of crashes is provided by the National Safety Council.

HAD-BEEN-DRINKING CRASHES BY INJURY SEVERITY

The majority of crashes do not involve injury (81.1%). Possible (C) injury crashes represent about 64% 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 about eight times more likely when one of the crash-involved operators is reported as had-been-drinking (HBD).

DEATH & INJURY FOR CRASH INVOLVED OCCUPANTS

Occupants in had-been-drinking crashes

The majority of occupants involved in crashes are not injured (84.9%). About 69% 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 about nine times higher than in all crashes and the incapacitating injury level (A) is about six times higher.

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

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

* Excludes 48,141 drivers with unknown age

Licensed drivers age 18 have the highest crash rate at 0.151 (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.

Note: Drivers may have more than one condition including “Appeared Normal.” These are driver conditions that, in the opinion of the investigating officer, were involved in the crash. While some conditions may be evident, others (such as distraction) will only be known if the driver admits to the condition, thus leading to possible underreporting.

HEAVY TRUCK/BUS INVOLVED CRASHES

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), and noncollision event (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 3:00 AM and 2:59 PM, and fewer crashes between 3:00 PM and 2:59 AM.

• More crashes Monday through Thursday and fewer crashes Friday through Sunday.

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.
