RESTRAINT USE AMONG FATALLY INJURED PASSENGER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS BY TIME OF DAY
This Crash Stats looks at the differences in restraint use among fatally injured passenger vehicle occupants based on time of day (day and night). Out of the 31,904 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2003, 16,308 persons (51%) were killed in crashes during daytime, 15,271 persons (48%) were killed in crashes during nighttime and the rest were killed in crashes at unknown times. A chart and a table are presented that show 5-yr trend data of passenger vehicle occupant fatalities by time of day and restraint use. Among the 15,271 persons killed at nighttime, 10,106 persons (66%) did not use restraints and 5,165 persons (34%) used restraints. In contrast the proportion of unrestrained fatally injured passenger vehicle occupants during daytime crashes was 47%.
