[ Full Text ]

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) bases its 2010 FARS reports on Version 03Nov11 of the FARS files.

The data sets document 30,196 crashes (with 10,094 of them involving two vehicles), 45,777 vehicles, 69,124 occupants and 5,449 nonmotorists.

PLEASE NOTE: There were many changes to the 2010 FARS, most of which are the result of NHTSA’s efforts to standardize variables in FARS and the National Automotive Sampling System’s (NASS) General Estimates System (GES). Please see: FARS 2010 Manual Changes
