Dear Reader:
The 2014 calendar year was another successful year for the nation in the reduction of fatal motorvehicle crashes. It is encouraging to see that nationwide, motor vehicle fatalities have decreased toa three-year low. In 2014, New Jersey recorded 523 fatal collisions that resulted in 556 deaths.Unfortunately, this represents an increase of 15 collisions and 14 fatalities, resulting in an averageof 1.52 motor vehicle fatalities per day. The law enforcement community and certain non-profitorganizations will remain committed in their respective traffic and public safety efforts. Throughenforcement and education of the motoring public, we will continue to work towards the reductionof motor vehicle fatalities on our roadways.
As traffic-related deaths continue to be the leading cause of accidental deaths in New Jersey and thenation, we must continue our efforts in traffic safety awareness. In 2014, the recorded nationwidedeath toll on our roadways was approximately 32,675 fatalities. This is approximately 44 fewerdeaths than reported in 2013. In addition, this figure for 2014 represents approximately 4,748 fewerdeaths nationwide than what was reported 6 years ago in 2008.
On the following pages, you will find statistics concerning this past calendar year’s fatal motorvehicle crashes. The information was compiled by the Fatal Accident Investigation Unit within theDivision of State Police. This report constitutes a detailed look at the causes and results of fatalcrashes throughout the state during 2014. With the continued efforts and cooperation of the publicand federal, state and local agencies, I am convinced that our traffic safety records will continue toimprove in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Fuentes Colonel Superintendent
