INTRODUCTION Purpose:
The North Dakota Crash Summary is produced annually by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT), Safety Division. The summary identifies and describes the trends and effects of traffic crashes in North Dakota. The statistics within the North Dakota Crash Summary describe factors that contribute to the occurrence of crashes, crash-related injuries and fatalities. This summary is designed to heighten awareness about traffic safety by allowing safety program specialists, public health personnel, and other interested individuals to identify areas where programs may be focused in an effort to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
Crash Data:
The data for this summary is derived from North Dakota crash reports. These reports are completed by law enforcement officers throughout the state who collect data from crash scenes on public roadways. Information is collected when a crash involves fatalities, injuries, or at least $1,000 property damage. Crash reports are forwarded to NDDOT for central collection. The crash report data is entered into the Crash Reporting System (CRS) and is then available for data review by NDDOT analysts.
Other Data:
Data from the Office of the Attorney General, State Toxicologist, and the North Dakota Highway Patrol is also included.
Private Property Crashes: Private property crashes and non-traffic crashes are not included in this summary. Fatal Crashes:
Additional information is collected on fatal crashes and compiled into a separate database, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). This data base is maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Fact Sheets:
In order to provide information at a glance, the North Dakota 2014 Fast Facts is included in the introduction section. Fast Facts provides an overview of the Crash Summary and is useful when presenting information to others.
Prepared By:
This report was prepared by the North Dakota Department of Transportation, Safety Division. For more information, please contact:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NORTH DAKOTA TRAFFIC DEATHS DECREASE IN 2014 135 people died on North Dakota roads in 2014, 13 fewer than in 2013. NDDOT focuses its safety efforts on: • Statewide and local traffic safety programs that have increased awareness of traffic safety issues. • High visibility enforcement campaigns (high volume multi-media in conjunction with increased, targeted law enforcement) specific to driver behavior (impaired driving and seat belt use). • Improved engineering of roadway infrastructure. Seat belt use in North Dakota ranks below the national average. The national average in 2014, as reported by the National Occupant Protection Use Survey, was 87 percent, while North Dakota’s rate was 81 percent. This rate increased from 77.7 percent in 2013. As improvements are made, the challenges continue and traffic safety must continue to be a top priority in North Dakota. In 2014: • 43.8 percent of motor vehicle fatal crashes involved alcohol, comparted to 48.12 percent in 2013. • 68.2 percent of individuals killed in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing seat belts, compared to 59.0 percent in 2013. • 33 percent of fatal motor vehicle crashes were speed related/driving too fast for conditions, a decrease from 2013. This 2014 North Dakota Crash Summary contains further details regarding motor vehicle crashes and Safety Division program emphasis areas in North Dakota. This document exists to help various traffic safety partners advance motor vehicle safety on a statewide basis. Traffic safety partners include: law enforcement agencies, judicial personnel, legislators, news media, research analysts, health care providers, insurance companies, businesses, students, and others involved in traffic safety activities. Crash statistics are a critical element of traffic safety programming. It is only through careful analysis of crashes that we learn about their causes, and develop corresponding solutions through legislation, law enforcement, safety programs, and highway improvements. As a partner in highway safety community, your efforts help NDDOT to accomplish its mission to safely move people, and goods, making North Dakota a safe place to live, work, and play.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Gratitude is extended to all law enforcement personnel at the city, county, and state levels who provide the accurate crash reports from which these statistics are obtained. Their efforts make this report a reliable source of information.

* The following information explains the significant decrease in seat belt use in 2010 from previous years.
Since 2001, North Dakota had used a formula – which was approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) – to analyze the data collected via the statewide observational seat belt use study. In 2005, a deviation from this formula occurred to allow weighted data for direct comparisons. This resulted in an increased seat belt use rate. In 2009, the state requested that NHTSA review the formula change for concurrence with the original formula. As a result, the state reverted to the original formula with the 2009 survey. Unfortunately, data from 2005-2009 and earlier was not available to be recalculated. In 2014, North Dakota ranked below the national average in seat belt usage. The national average in 2014, as reported by the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) was 87 percent. Without a primary seat belt law for all vehicle occupants, change will require the efforts of educators and law enforcement.

Contributing Factor: The circumstances reported by the investigating officer surrounding a crash that contributed to the crash or the crash severity. Examples are “Vision Obstructed,” or “Speed,” or “Failed to Yield.” A contributing factor is coded for each vehicle involved in the crash.

Often defined as “needing help from the scene.” Injury Crash: A crash in which one or more persons sustained a possible injury, probable injury or an incapacitating injury as recorded by the investigating officer. Interstate Roadway: Limited-access, divided facilities of at least four lanes, designated by the FHWA as a part of the Interstate System. Local Streets and Roads: Streets, whose primary purpose is feeding higher-order systems providing direct access with little or no through traffic.

Older Driver: A driver age 65 years or older. Out-of-State Driver: A driver licensed from a jurisdiction other than North Dakota who is involved in a crash. Pedalcycle: A vehicle operated solely by pedals and propelled by human power. This includes bicycle, tricycle, unicycle, sidecar or trailer attached to any of the above listed devices. Principal Arterial: Major streets or highways, many with multi-lane or freeway design. Property Damage Only (PDO) Crash: A crash in which no injury was recorded for any person involved in the crash by the investigating office. Roadway: That part of a trafficway designed, improved, and ordinarily used for motor vehicle travel or, where various classes of motor vehicles are segregated, that part of a trafficway used by a particular class. Separate roadways may be provided for northbound and southbound traffic or for trucks and automobiles. Seat Belt Use: Seat belt use is recorded for all occupants involved in all crashes. This includes the use of Child Safety Seats. Speed-Related Crash: A crash where the investigating officer codes a contributing factor of “Speed” or “Too Fast for Conditions.” Teenage Driver: A driver between the ages of 14 and 19. Teenage-Driver Crashes: A crash involving a driver age 14 to 19. Traffic Crash: A vehicle crash in which the unstabilized situation originates on the trafficway or the harmful event occurs on a trafficway.
