Summary of bicycle and pedestrian injury and fatality data in Missouri, 2002-2006
Here is a summary of that data for the years 2000-2006 for bicyclists and pedestrians:
CRASHES INVOLVING BICYCLISTS IN MISSOURI
2000: 9 killed (0.9%), 749 injured (1.5%)
2001: 6 killed (0.6%), 655 injured (1.3%)
2002: 16 killed (1.5%), 641 injured (1.3%)
2003: 9 killed (0.8%), 655 injured (0.4%)
2004: 2 killed (0.2%), 635 injured (0.4%)
2005: 8 killed (0.7%), 582 injured (0.4%)
2006: 7 killed (0.7%), 601 injured (0.5%)Percentages are percentages of total traffic fatalities or total traffic injuries for that year.
Note 1: the number of cyclists killed jumps around rather randomly, as, statistically speaking, small numbers do. No great significance can be ascribed to the year-to-year changes in such a small sample.
Note 2: this data captures almost all bicycle fatalities, but misses approximately 90% of bicycle injuries. For an explanation of why that is so, read this article.
Note 3: Note the change in injured % between 2002 and 2003. We believe this is due to technical changes in the way the Highway Patrol prepares the data.
