About this dataset
This dataset is NHTSA's census of fatal crashes (FARS). It contains fatal crashes only — injury-only and property-damage crashes are not included. The 2024 file is the most recent NHTSA release and remains subject to revision.

Severity Breakdown
Distribution of crashes by severity across fatal, serious-injury, other-injury, and property-damage-only outcomes.
No data to display
Not applicable to this dataset: FARS is a census of fatal crashes only, so a severity distribution would be 100% fatal by construction. This view will populate when an all-severity source (e.g., FLHSMV) is integrated.
