Car Accident Statistics
Car Accident Statistics - St. Louis, MO
Information available on the FARS website. FARS is the Federal Analysis Reporting System located at http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx
After reading through the car accident statistics on the FARS site I noticed that fatal crashes appear to be at their lowest level in over 10 years. Read through this blog entry to discover more accident statistics.
Motorcycles in fatal crashes had the highest proportion of collisions with fixed objects (25.2 percent), and large trucks in fatal crashes had the lowest proportion (3.5 percent).[Vehicles 2007]
Half of all fatal crashes in 2007 occurred on roads with posted speed limits of 55 mph or more, as compared with 23 percent of injury and property-damage-only crashes.

The pedestrian fatality rate per 100,000 population was 1.54 for the Nation. The District of Columbia had the highest rate (3.23), and Wyoming, with two pedestrian fatalities, had the lowest rate (0.38).

Car Accident Articles
Car accident articles come out everyday that fully describe the tragic life changing events that effect drivers and passengers during and immediately after an accident, however there are few if any car accident articles that focus on life after the car accident takes place. I work with doctors who practice is focused on treating victims of car accidents and focus heavily on finding ways to help patients get their life back on track as quickly as possible after an auto accident takes place.

The creators of this site say they have talked to THOUSANDS of experts, professionals, friends and neighbors around the country about what they have lived through. They have picked the best advice from them all and posted it on their site.
The Car Accident section on the site was pretty good. What I really liked was the WHN Tip sections. I got sucked into this site and spent a while looking at all kinds of information. Check it out, but be careful...
