| Abstract | The purpose of this publication is to provide the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Missouri Division of Highway Safety, and other State and local authorities with information on Missouri's traffic crash problems. It is one in a series which is being produced annually. The primary source of data for the Compendium is the Statewide Traffic Accident Records System being maintained by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Although this publication contains historical data on Missouri's traffic crash and severity experience, emphasis is placed on the most recent year (2002). In 2002, Missouri had a total of 185,786 traffic crashes. The economic loss associated with these traffic crashes was estimated to be $3,398,182,500. In these traffic crashes, 0.6% (1,082) involved one or more persons being killed in the incident. In addition, 25.8% (47,973) involved no persons being killed but one or more persons being injured in the incident. In 2002, a total of 1,208 persons died in Missouri traffic crashes. One person was killed every 7.3 hours. The death rate (the number of deaths per 100 million miles of travel) was 1.8 in 2002. Missouri experienced a slight increase in its death rate compared to 2001. In 2001, the death rate was 1.6. |
