2008 Traffic Safety Annual Assessment – Highlights Part 2
In 2008, an estimated 2.35 million people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, compared to 2.49 million in 2007. The estimated number of people injured in crashes is at its lowest point since NHTSA began collecting injury data in 1988. This constitutes the ninth consecutive yearly reduction in people injured (Figure 2). The number of people injured increased only for pedalcyclists. The number of motorcyclists injured showed the first decrease since 1998, a reduction of 6.8 percent.
