Traffic Crashes/2015 Statistics 1

It is hoped that the information in this booklet will be of value to you. Certainly it is the most comprehensive look available at the crash problem in Missouri.

Here at a glance are some interesting statistics found in this booklet:

• In 2015 there were 870 persons killed in traffic crashes in the State of Missouri, 104 (13.6% ) more than in 2014 . There was a increase of about 7.5% in total crashes statewide compared to 2014.

• Alcohol/drugs and speeding are the two highest Probable Contributing Circumstance in fatal crashes. Of all fatal crashes, 34.2% involved speed and 26.0% involved alcohol/drugs.

• Of all persons killed in Missouri traffic crashes in 2015 , 341 (39.2% ) were in the 15-35 age group. The age group most overrepresented in Missouri fatal traffic crashes is 15-24 group (173 killed, 19.9% of the total).

• It is interesting to note that in known cases only 17.3% of all traffic crashes occurred during inclement weather (rain, snow, sleet/hail, freezing temp., fog or mist).

• Of all traffic crashes reported statewide, 74.6% were property damage only.

• Of all traffic crashes 71.4% occurred during the daylight hours and 76.1% occurred on dry pavement.

• Of all fatal Missouri traffic crashes, 60.9% involved only one vehicle.

• Jackson County recorded the most traffic fatalities with 82.

This booklet is published by the Missouri State Highway Patrol as an aid to persons who are interested in the traffic crash problem in Missouri. It contains information which provides for a comprehensive look at the Statewide crash problems as experienced in 2015. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is the central traffic crash data collection agency for the State of Missouri. Data on both rural and urban traffic crashes is made available to this agency. Law enforcement agencies throughout the State provide the Highway Patrol with copies of their crash reports. All reports of traffic crashes including those investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol are tabulated and analyzed by this agency. It is thus due, in part, to the continued cooperation of these law enforcement agencies that a meaningful picture of the statewide crash experience is available to interested persons.

Alcohol Involvement

Drinking and Crashes (Includes drivers of all vehicles and pedestrians) - Whether or not a person has been drinking cannot always be determined at the scene of a crash. It is generally impossible to determine the persons who have had one or a few drinks; yet, these individuals may be as much of a hazard as the obvious drunk. Because of the time lapse from the moment of occurrence until an officer arrives at the scene to make the investigation, a person's condition concerning drinking can change a great deal. In cases where the individual may have been removed to a hospital, doctor's office or funeral home, his condition may never be determined.
