As Part I of a forthcoming Automotive Crash Injury Research (ACIR) series of studies on the relations among vehicle speed, accident type, injury, and death in automobile accidents, tabulations of fatality rates at various estimated traveling speeds are presented. Fourteen typical accident configurations (types) are defined, and detailed tabulations are presented for seven leading (most common) configurations. Data are given separately for drivers without passengers, drivers with passengers, front passengers, and rear passengers. Likewise, data are given separately for nonejected occupants and ejected occupants. The tabulations provided information on the relation of fatality rate to traveling speed, accident type, seated position, and ejection. (Author)
