Fatality Analysis Reporting System

The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is a database that collects information about fatalities caused by car crashes in the United States. It was created to help people understand why car crashes happen, and how to prevent them. FARS collects information, such as age and gender of drivers involved in crashes, the type of vehicle they were driving, the time of day and weather conditions, and more. This information helps people figure out what can be done to make roads safer and reduce the number of car crashes.
