Florida Traffic Crash Facts Report, p. 131How to read these figures
Florida’s annual report tracks reportable motor-vehicle crashes recorded by law enforcement. A crash may affect more than one person, so injury and fatality totals are not the same as the number of crash events. Categories such as distracted driving can also include more than one contributing factor in the same event.
These statistics are useful context, not a substitute for responding to the conditions in front of you. If a vehicle is stopped in an unsafe location, someone is injured, there is fire or smoke, or traffic is blocked, call 911 first.
