Motor Vehicle Accidents

The accident data are compiled from the accident reports submitted to the NYSDMV by motorists and police agencies. The accident data are released after a complete calendar year is compiled. The data for the year 2010 are the most current available.

Some of the other information, for example, the numbers for population and vehicle miles traveled, is collected from other government agencies.

General Notes:

  • A calculation made with rounded number is the possible cause of a total percentage that is higher or lower than 100.0%.
  • Some data were collected only from Police Accident Reports (MV-104).  The title of the data table includes "(P)".
  • The Property Damage Accident reports include only data from accidents that cause damage of more than $1,000 to the property of one person.
  • The term "vehicles" does not include bicycles.
  • The term "drivers" does not include bicyclists.
