56 <br />3.5 Automobile Collisions <br />As shown in Chart 3-17 shows the degree of injury for vehicle colli- <br />sions. The highest degree of injury is property damage only at 60% of <br />all vehicle collisions, followed by a complaint of pain at 25%. The next <br />highest is other visible injury at 10% followed by severe injury at 2%. <br />The lowest degree of injury and yet most severe is fatal at less than 1%, <br />which is equal to 67 lives. Another 3% of collisions had null values and <br />cannot be categorized. Year-over-year quantities range from 2,832 to <br />4,306 reported vehicle collisions, averaging a combined 414 fatalities <br />and severe injuries each year. <br />Chart 3-18 shows the age of the vehicle occupants involved in the col- <br />lision. Similar to the pedestrian and bicycle data, a large percentage <br />of the collisions are missing age data. If the collisions without age data <br />are disregarded, then the age distribution may be what is expected <br />with the greatest number of collisions occurring with ages 15 to 28 <br />and gradually declining as people get older and typically become less <br />physically active. <br />Degree of Injury 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total <br />Not Stated - 7 576 -- 583 <br />Complaint of Pain 1,047 820 839 816 897 4,419 <br />Fatal 17 8 8 16 18 67 <br />Other Visible <br />Injury 397 287 431 278 316 1,709 <br />Property Damage <br />Only 2,175 1,643 2,374 2,074 2,524 10,790 <br />Severe Injury 68 67 78 62 72 347 <br />Grand Total 3,704 2,832 4,306 3,246 3,827 17,915 <br />Table 3-8: Degree of Injury per Year <br />Chart 3-19 shows the total automobile collisions by day of week, re- <br />vealing that Wednesdays and Fridays tend to see more automobile <br />collisions. <br />Chart 3-18: Automobile Collisions by Age <br />Chart 3-17: Degree of Injury for Automobile Collisions <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 32 – 61 6/4/2024
