FARS records 871 deaths in 761 fatal crashes in Kentucky in 1993.

In 1992 it records 815 deaths in 718 fatal crashes.

This site gives no rate for the years before 2000.

Deaths in Kentucky rose by 6.9% from 1992 to 1993. In the United States they rose by 2.3%.

In 1993, a driver was recorded as drinking in 36.0% of fatal crashes in Kentucky and 35.1% in the United States.

To qualify as a FARS case, the crash had to involve a motor vehicle traveling on a trafficway customarily open to the public and must have resulted in the death of a motorist or a non-motorist within 30 days of the crash.

The set of first files, known as the Annual Report File (ARF), is released following the crash year. The ARF is replaced about a year later with a final file, which contains additional cases or updates to cases that had become available after the ARF was released.
