Acknowledgements........................................................................................................67 . Note to all statistical users It has been discovered that the data entry program used for the drivers and victims had a default error concerning age. All persons with an unknown date of birth had been assigned, February 14, 1912, (AZ Statehood Day), as a default date of birth. Their ages show in the statistics as being in their 80’s. This error has effected our database since mid 1992. Please be aware of this when attempting age comparisons in the 1992 through 1996 crash facts. The most obvious category is the Hit and Run driver. Approximately 10,000 to 12,000 individuals were appearing in the 75 and older group when in reality they should have been distributed throughout all age brackets. Tables 1-5 (page 8) and 5-8 (page 38) are most adversely effected. Those tables have been adjusted to show the fatalities and fatal crash involvement according to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Injury and property damage only crashes will be shown as unknown or not reported in this addition. Tables 6-7 (page 43), 6-10 (page 45), 7-1 (page 50), 7-9 (page 53) and 8-5 (page 58) will show some effect but have not been adjusted.

The most current data is always used at the time of publication, but it may change as new information is received. During 1997, an average of 115 persons died each day in motor vehicle crashes across the United States -one every 12 minutes.

These costs are an estimate of wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, administrative expenses, motor vehicle damage, and employer costs. Effective in 1993, new components were added and new benchmarks and inflation factors adopted. For this reason, the cost estimates for 1997 are not comparable to those published in the past. The following factors were used to approximate the value of the loss for crashes occurring in Arizona. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
