The data supports various local, county and state traffic safety programs, engineering and planning projects, legislative concepts, and law enforcement services. Legally reportable motor vehicle traffic crashes are those involving death, bodily injury, or damage to personal property in excess of $500 (for crashes that occurred prior to 9/01/1997) or $1,000 (for crashes that occurred between 9/01/1997 and 12/31/2003). As of 01/01/2004, drivers are required to submit a DMV Accident Report Form if there is more than $1,500 damage to the driver's vehicle; if there is morethan $1,500 damage to property other than a vehicle; if someone is injured (no matter how minor the injury); if someone is killed; or if any vehicle is towed due to damage resulting from the accident. The Crash Analysis and Reporting Unit is committed to providing the highest quality crash data to customers. However, because submittal of crash report forms is the responsibility of the individual driver, the Crash Analysis and Reporting Unit cannot guarantee that all qualifying crashes are represented; nor can assurances be made that all details pertaining to a single crash are accurate. Database expansion and refinement implemented in 2002 may result in slight differences between data reported in this publication and similar information reported in prior years.92
