Rural areas accounted for 55 percent of the fatal crashes and 56 percent of the fatalities. Urban areas accounted for 45 percent of the fatal crashes and 44 percent of the fatalities. / Supplementary Notes: See also report for 2004, PB2006-106886. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
