Injuries

This figure illustrates the flow of injuries by person type and affected body region. It shows that vehicle occupants sustain the highest number of injuries, followed by pedestrians, with bicyclists experiencing the fewest injuries. Across all groups, the most commonly injured body region is the back. Bicyclists and pedestrians also commonly have head injuries and knee-lower leg foot.

This bar chart shows that the number of pedestrian, motorists, and cyclist injuries varies throughout the day. The highest numbers occur during the morning and late afternoon which is the typical commute time. Motorist injuries are generally more than cyclist and pedestrian injuries across most hours. Injuries are lowest during the very early mornings and tend to increase during daytime.

The bar chart shows the injury rates for individuals in different seating positions during vehicles. Passengers in the middle rear seat face the highest injury rate at 23.1%, followed closely by those in the rear of the vehicle and right rear positions. In contrast, drivers show a lower injury rate of 11.8%, suggesting they may benefit from better protection systems like airbags and seatbelt use. middle front seat passengers experience the lowest injury rate, possibly due to fewer people occupying that position.
