Information from 1999 comprises the major portion of the book; however, basic historic trends are also provided for reference. The Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Summary is divided into two main sections, Historical Trends and 1999 Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Profile. The Historical Trend section provides information on alcohol involvement in motor vehicle accidents, severity of injury by record type and sex of drivers involved in accidents. This section also provides data on restraint usage and accident trends. The 1999 Traffic Accident Profile section details the accident picture for 1999 as well as a glossary of terms.The majority of the information in this book is provided by the Accident Records Section within the Department of Transportation. Current state law requires an accident report be filed for each motor vehicle traffic accident resulting in the death or injury of a person, or property damage to an apparent extent of five hundred dollars or more to any one person's property or one thousand dollars accumulated damage per accident. Law enforcement agencies provide the accident reports to Accident Records. These reports are available to the public for a fee of four dollars.90
