North Dakota fatal crashes in 2006

FARS records 111 deaths in 101 fatal crashes in North Dakota in 2006.

In 2005 it records 123 deaths in 105 fatal crashes.

In 2006 the rate is 17.1 deaths for each 100,000 residents in North Dakota and 14.3 in the United States.

By deaths for each 100,000 residents in 2006, North Dakota was number 21 of 51, the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Deaths in North Dakota fell by 9.8% from 2005 to 2006. In the United States they fell by 1.8%.

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.

Fatal crashes with a driver recorded as drinkingn/an/an/a

Note: FARS records a driver as drinking when police reported alcohol involvement or a test of the driver was positive for alcohol. It is not NHTSA's alcohol-impaired measure. NHTSA's definitions

NHTSA says that its count of drinking drivers is unreliable for 1977, 1981 and 1999 to 2007, because it was derived in a wrong way. This site gives no count for these years.

For the years before 2015 the count is from the FARS element DRUNK_DR. It counts a blood alcohol concentration of .01 g/dL or more. From 2015 the count is from DR_DRINK and counts .001 g/dL or more.
