Crash Fatalities

In 2006, 1,703 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in Georgia. One hundred and seventy-seven were teens (15 through 19) and 240 were young adults aged 20 through 24.

From 2000 to 2006, the number of lives lost has increased by 10 percent. During this same period of time, the fatality rate, measured in fatalities per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled has changed little, despite year-to-year fluctuations.

The population in Georgia increased 14% from 2000 through 2006. More people were at risk of being fatally injured, yet the fatality rate per 100,000 population declined four (4) percent.
