Trends in Georgia Crashes

  • Traffic fatalities - a steady decline from 2005, which had 1,729 traffic fatalities compared to 1,284 in 2009.
  • Motorcycle fatalities - at the lowest number (140) since 2005 (144).
  • Vehicle type - passenger cars continue to be the most common vehicle type for fatalities (455) but down significantly from 2005 (728).
