| Abstract | This fact sheet contains statistics on motor vehicle fatal crashes based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). FARS is a census of fatal crashes within the 50 States, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (although Puerto Rico is not included in the national totals). Rural and urban boundaries are determined by the State highway departments and approved by the Federal Highway Administration.In 2007, there were 37,248 fatal crashes resulting in 41,059 deaths. Where land use was known, rural areas accounted for 56 percent (20,347) of the fatal crashes and 57 percent (22,866) of the fatalities as compared to urban areas which accounted for 44 percent (16,251) of the fatal crashes and 43 percent (17,497) of the fatalities. |
