Fatality Facts
37,261 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2008.
The Institute publishes statistical facts about the motor vehicle safety picture in 2008, the most recent year for which fatality data are available.
Fatality Facts are updated once a year, when the US Department of Transportation releases data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
Archive data for 2007, 2006, and 2005 is also available.
