The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) bases its 2001 FARS reports on Version 27Aug02 of the FARS files.

The data sets document 37,795 crashes (with 13,689 of them involving two vehicles), 57,800 vehicles, 94,512 occupants and 6,442 nonmotorists.

A new variable for Died at Scene/En Route (V332) has been split out from the variable Occupant Taken to Hospital at the occupant level, and the same is true for Died at Scene/En Route at the nonmotorist level (V432). Please be alert to renumbering of variables from 332 to 346 and 432 to 446.
