2012 Washington State Annual Collision Summary
INTRODUCTION
The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 46.52.030 requires that a standard Police Traffic
Collision Report (PTCR) be submitted when an injury or death occurs to any person, or there
is damage to the property of any person to an apparent extent of seven hundred dollars or
more. RCW 46.52.060 further prescribes that this information be tabulated and reported annually. The annual collision summary meets this requirement.
The annual collision summary is a collaborative effort between several traffic safety agencies. The Washington State Department of Transportations (WSDOT) Statewide Travel and
Collision Data Office (STCDO), by contractual agreement with the Washington State Patrol
(WSP), is responsible for collecting, processing, analyzing and disseminating collision data
pertaining to all public roadways in Washington State. Information on these collisions is
stored in the Collision Location and Analysis System (CLAS). The Washington Traffic Safety
Commission (WTSC) is responsible for coding and analyzing all traffic fatalities that occur in
Washington State as part of the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
The source data used for collision information contained in this summary originates from
collision reports submitted by law enforcement officers to WSP. WSP shares this information
with WSDOT and WTSC for the CLAS and FARS databases. This report covers police officer reported collisions on all public roadways in Washington State for the year 2012. Other
agencies contributing to this summary include WSP, the Department of Licensing (DOL), the
Office of Financial Management (OFM), the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) and
the Department of Health (DOH). This report reflects a snapshot of available 2012 data as
of November 2013.
WSDOT provides data in this report with the understanding that it will not be used, contrary
to the restrictions in United States Code 23 Section 409, in discovery or as evidence at trial
in any action for damages against WSDOT, the State of Washington, or any other jurisdiction
involved in the locations mentioned in the data. These entities expressly reserve the right,
under Section 409, to object to the use of the data, including any opinions drawn from the
data.

MEDIA SUMMARY
Target Zero
Washington States Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Target Zero, is a data-driven approach to
prioritizing limited traffic safety resources. Target Zero is a high-level plan which:

Sets statewide priorities for all traffic safety partners over the next three to four years.
Provides a resource for potential strategies to address each of the priority areas.
Monitors outcomes at a statewide level for each of the priority areas.
Priority Level One includes factors associated with the largest number of fatalities and serious
injuries in the State. Each of these factors was involved in at least 30% of traffic fatalities and
serious injuries between 2009 and 2011. Traffic data systems was elevated to a priority one due
to the need for improving the data we use to make resource decisions.

Impaired Driver Involved

Run-off-the-Road Collisions
Speeding Involved
Young Driver age 16-25 Involved
Distracted Driver Involved
Intersection Related Collisions
Traffic Data Systems
Priority Level Two includes factors associated with 10-30% of fatal and serious injury collisions.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is included here due to the significant impact effective EMS
response has on preserving life and minimizing injury.

Unrestrained Vehicle Occupants

Unlicensed Driver Involved
Opposite-Direction (Head-on) Collisions
Motorcyclists
Pedestrians
EMS and Trauma Care Systems
Priority Level Three includes factors associated with less than 10% of fatalities and serious injuries.

Older Driver age 75+ Involved

Heavy Truck Involved
Drowsy Driver Involved
Bicyclists
Work Zones
Wildlife
School Bus Involved
Vehicle-Train

COLLISION FACTORS
EMS and Trauma Systems
Washingtons Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Trauma Care Systems contributed
to a steady decrease in the number of motor vehicle related deaths in hospitals. In 2002,
there were 223 motor vehicle related deaths that occurred under EMS and trauma care. In
2012, the number went down to 153. The death rate for these patients also went down from
about 7.7% in 2002 to about 4.9% in 2012.
Washingtons EMS and Trauma Care System is a coordinated system to assure appropriate
and adequate care with the goal of reducing death and disability. First, by providing critical
care as soon as possible after an injury, EMS helps reduce deaths and serious injuries. The
minutes directly following a traumatic injury are often critical to saving lives or minimizing the
long term effects of injury; timeliness and clinical expertise are critical factors in the success of
post trauma care.
In addition to the minutes immediately following an injury, a patients success is dependent on
other important facets of trauma care, including prevention activities, hospital care, and rehabilitation resources. Each of these components work together to reduce death and disability of
injured people throughout Washington.

Appendix A: Data Sources
Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) The Information Services Division provides
support to the courts through development, operation, and maintenance of the Judicial Information System (JIS). The AOC provided 2012 tabulated counts of case filings relating to
driving under the influence, speeding, and cell phone/texting. Speeding and cell phone/texting
counts include both original and amended charges.
District and municipal courts which employ JIS are represented in the AOC Courts of Limited
Jurisdiction statistical tables. For the DUI counts in this report, the Seattle Municipal Court is
represented due to a special download from its local automated system. However, traffic violations bureaus (established in accordance with RCW 3.30.090) or the small number of courts
which do not employ JIS are not included. Those violations bureaus and non-JIS courts process a combined total of about 5,000 cases per year, approximately one-fourth of one percent
of the statewide limited jurisdiction caseload.
Speeding and cell/texting information provided by AOC does not include traffic violation bureaus or courts which do not employ JIS. This includes Seattle Municipal Court. Therefore, the
counts included in this report offer an under-represented estimate of statewide case filings. For
more information about AOC data and information, please visit http://www.courts.wa.gov/appellate_trial_courts/aocwho/?fa=atc_aocwho.display&fileID=isd
Collision Location Analysis System (CLAS) Managed by WSDOT, CLAS contains collision data submitted by law enforcement officers for collisions occurring on Washingtons public roads. Officers can submit the collision report electronically or by mailing in a paper collision
report. WSDOT analysts review the reports and may request additional or clarifying information from the officer in the form of a Supplemental Collision Report. WSDOT analysts derive
additional engineering specific data based on the data submitted by the officer. The data (with
the exception of personal information) is then made available through the WSDOT Collision
Data Mart for use by regions and divisions within WSDOT, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), other Washington State and Local Agencies, and other public and private organizations. For more information about CLAS data, please visit
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/collision/collisiondatarequest.htm.
Department of Health Office of Community Health Systems (DOH) The Research,
Analysis, and Data Section of the Office of Community Health Systems manages the States
Trauma Registry. Hospitals with designated trauma services are required to submit data to
DOH quarterly for use in injury surveillance research and programs, monitoring patient care
and outcomes, ensuring compliance with state standards for trauma care, and resource planning. The traffic safety community in Washington State utilizes trauma information for monitoring trauma systems as prioritized in Target Zero . For more information about Washingtons
Trauma Registry, please visit http://www.doh.wa.gov/ForPublicHealthandHealthcareProviders/

APPENDICES
Department of Licensing (DOL) In addition to many other functions, the DOL provides information on licensed drivers and registered vehicles in Washington State. The DOL provided
total counts of licensed drivers and registered vehicles for calculating collision and injury rates
for this summary. For more information about DOL data and information, please visit http://
www.dol.wa.gov/about/data.html.
Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) Managed by WTSC, FARS is a complete
census of all traffic fatalities occurring on Washington Roadways, public or private (when the
private road is openly accessible to the public). Traffic fatalities are those that involve a motor
vehicle in transport, are not due to a cataclysmic event (such as a rock slide), and death occurring within 30 days of the collision. These data are submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the national FARS database. For more information about
Washington FARS, please visit http://www.wtsc.wa.gov/statistics-reports/about-our-data/.
Office of Financial Management Forecasting Division (OFM) The population unit of the
Forecasting Division develops official state and local population estimates and projections for
use in the allocation of certain state revenues, growth management, and other planning functions. As the official partner of the U. S. Census Bureau for Washington state, the Population
unit helps disseminate information about the characteristics of Washingtons population, housing, and economy and provide guidance to a variety of stakeholders in accessing and using
demographic information. For more information about OFM population estimates, please visit

APPENDICES
Appendix B: Data Definitions
Traffic Collisions
Traffic Related Collisions exclude collisions that resulted from a traffic-unrelated medical event
(such as a heart attack while driving), collisions resulting from police pursuits (legal interventions),
intentional acts (suicide or homicide), or collisions that do not meet state reportable requirements
(such as damage thresholds). In all collisions except fatals (see definition below), the collision
must also occur on a state or local public roadway (excludes private drives, parking lots, etc.). Injury severity for each person involved in a collision is determined by the investigating officer based
on the latest information available at the time the report is completed.
Non-Traffic Fatal Collisions are collisions involving a fatal injury that do not meet the definition of
traffic as described above and as also described in the fatal injury definition below.
Collision Injury Severity

Fatal Injury A collision, as described above, that results in a fatality. Specific to the FARS database, if a collision occurs on a private road accessible to the public, or the un-stabilized event
that led to the collision begins on a public road, those are counted as traffic fatalities. Exclusions
include death after 30 days (even if the death was a result of the collision) or the loss of an unborn
fetus as a result of the collision. Traffic fatalities are confirmed by death certificates (died as a result of injuries sustained in the collision).
Non-Traffic Fatality A fatality that occurs on a public or private roadway that does not meet the
criteria for a traffic fatality.
Serious Injury A collision resulting in an injury assessed by the investigating officer as any injury
which prevents the injured person from walking, driving, or continuing normal activities at the time
of the collision. Includes severe lacerations, broken or distorted limbs, skull or check injuries, abdominal injuries, etc. Excludes momentary unconsciousness, etc..
Minor Injury A category combining evident and possible injuries, see definitions below.
Evident (non-disabling) Injury A collision resulting in an injury assessed by the investigating officer as any injury other than fatal or serious at the scene. Includes broken fingers or toes, abrasions, etc. Excludes limping, complaint of pain, nausea, momentary unconsciousness, etc..
Possible Injury A collision resulting in an injury assessed by the investigating officer as any
injury reported to the officer or claimed by the individual as momentary unconsciousness, claim of
injuries not evident, limping, complaint of pain, nausea, hysteria, etc..
No Injury/Property Damage Only Applies when the officer at the scene has no reason to believe
that, at the time of the collision, the person received any bodily harm due to the collision.
Persons Involved in Collisions

Drivers Operators of motor vehicles, excluding motorcyclists (see definition below), involved in
traffic collisions.
Occupants Persons in or on motor vehicles, not operating the vehicle, excluding motorcyclists.
29
APPENDICES
Appendix B: Data Definitions
Motorcyclists Persons operating a motorcycle or a passenger on a motorcycle. Excludes scooter
bikes, mopeds, and other motorized bikes.
Pedestrians Persons on foot, roller skater/skateboarder, persons in wheelchairs, flaggers, roadway workers and emergency response personnel.
Bicyclists Persons on bicycles, tricycles, or other pedal cycles.
Collision, Fatal and Injury Rates

Rates A rate is the degree of which something occurs, measured per unit of something else.
Rates answer the question How likely is this to happen? In this summary, the something occurring are collisions and injuries from collisions. There are many ways to calculate rates in traffic
safety to get more accurate estimates (beyond just simple counts) of how frequently an event is
occurring, based upon some other unit of measurement, or exposure. Each of these different exposure methods are described below, including the limitations of each. The different types of rates
provided in this summary are just different ways of looking at the same event and are not necessarily meant to be compared. The formula however is the same:
Rate= # Events (Exposure/ [per] Unit)
Rate per 100M Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) The VMT rate reflects the number of collisions, fatalities, or serious injuries that occur per every 100 million miles traveled on Washington roadways.
For example, in Washington for every 100 million miles that are traveled by all road users, there
are approximately 176 collisions, 4 serious injuries, and 1 fatality. The limitation of this measure
is the very high number of vehicle miles traveled; each year there are billions of miles traveled on
Washington roadways so it is challenging to imagine personal risk in the context of traveling millions of miles.
Rate per 10,000 Licensed Drivers The Licensed Driver rate reflects the number of collisions,
fatalities, or serious injuries that occur per every 10,000 drivers licensed in Washington State. The
limitation of this measure is that not all drivers are licensed and not all who are licensed drive.
Also, not all counties have 10,000 licensed drivers, so the rate may seem inflated. For example,
Garfield County experienced 2 traffic fatalities and has 1,797 licensed drivers, so the resulting rate
is 11.13 per 10,000 licensed drivers, which is the same as 2 per 1,797 licensed drivers. However,
using per 10,000 allows for rate comparisons across counties.
Rate per 10,000 Registered Vehicles The Registered Vehicle rate reflects the number of collisions, fatalities, or serious injuries that occur per every 10,000 vehicles registered in Washington
State. The limitations of this measure are the same as for licensed drivers; not all vehicles on the
road are registered and not all registered vehicles are driven. Rates may also appear inflated.
Rate per 10,000 Population The Population rate reflects the number of collisions, fatalities, or
serious injuries that occur per every 10,000 people living in Washington State. Similar to the limitations of the above rate measures, these rates may appear inflated for counties with populations
less than 10,000. The statewide traffic serious injury rate of 3.23 per 10,000 population is the same
as saying, For every 10,000 persons living in Washington, three of them will be seriously injured
in traffic collisions this year, which is also the same as a total of 2,200 seriously injured people.
