FARS Database

The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is a comprehensive database maintained by the U.S. Department of Transportation that tracks all fatal motor vehicle crashes across the country. It collects detailed information about each incident, including causes, locations, times, vehicle types, and driver details. This data helps researchers, policymakers, and safety organizations identify trends, assess safety measures, and develop strategies to reduce road fatalities. In essence, FARS provides a complete picture of fatal crashes, supporting efforts to improve traffic safety and save lives.
