| Abstract | 2002 Facts and Figures 805 persons were killed in Wisconsin motor vehicle traffic crashes (36% involved alcohol, 34% involved speed, and 18% involved both speed and alcohol). 57,776 persons were injured in 39,634 reported injury crashes and 723 fatal crashes. An average of two persons were killed every day on Wisconsin highways. The fatality rate per 100 million miles of travel was 1.37, compared to 1.33 in 2001. Of the 457 drivers who were killed and tested for alcohol concentration, 180 drivers (39%) had an alcohol concentration of .10 or above. 50 pedestrians were killed, compared to 42 in 2001. Of the 50 pedestrians killed, 8 (16%) were tested with a blood alcohol concentration of 10 or above. 9 bicyclists were killed, the same as were killed in 2001. 78 motorcyclists were killed, compared to 70 in 2001. 37% of persons killed in passenger car and light truck crashes (for instances in which safety belt use could be determined) were using safety restraints. 80% of all motorcyclists killed in crashes (for instances in which helmet use could be determined) were not wearing helmets. 61% of all crashes occurred on county trunk highways and local roads. The total number of registered vehicles was 5,038,541 compared to 4,946,305 in 2001 (a 1.8% increase). The total number of licensed drivers was 3,839,930 compared to 3,835,549 in 2001 (a 0.1% increase). |
