| Abstract: |
The Missouri Statewide Traffic Accident Records System provides information on all traffic crashes on public roadways if they involve a death or personal injury or property damage over $500. The analysis revealed that 1,892 traffic crashes involving 1,945 emergency service vehicles took place during the year. Six persons were killed and 716 were injured. A total of 20.4 percent of the emergency vehicles were on an emergency run at the time of the crash. A total of 81.8 percent of the emergency vehicles were police vehicles, 9 percent were fire vehicles, and 8.8 percent were ambulances. The 396 emergency vehicles making emergency runs when a traffic crash took place included 65 fire emergency vehicles and 52 ambulances. Figures, tables, map, and glossary |
