reports provide data for 1) all crashes, 2) alcohol-related crashes, 3) speed-related crashes, and 4) motorcycle
crashes. Caution is advised in interpreting the data in cases where the numbers are very small.

Note: In interpreting these data, any age group with a greater percentage of drivers involved in fatal and personal injury crashes
than licensed drivers indicates that the drivers in that age group are overrepresented in fatal and personal injury crashes. Five
drivers in fatal and personal injury crashes were excluded due to unknown age.

Age Group
Note: In interpreting these data, any age group with a greater percentage of impaired drivers involved in A-R fatal and personal
injury crashes than licensed drivers indicates that the drivers in that age group are overrepresented in A-R fatal and personal injury
crashes. Similarly, any age group with a greater percentage of drivers arrested for impaired driving than licensed drivers indicates
that drivers in that age group are overrepresented in alcohol-related arrests.
