The California Highway Patrol (CHP) maintains the most complete
data on motor vehicle collisions, including those that involve
pedestrians or cyclists. The database, called Statewide Integrated
Traffic Records System, includes injuries and fatalities resulting
from all collisions reported to local law enforcement as well
as to the Highway Patrol. The Highway Patrol publishes the series
Annual Report of Fatal and Injury Motor Vehicle Traffic Collisions,
which includes summary statistics by county and for the entire
state. This is available on the Web at: www.chp.ca.gov/switrs/
Data at a less aggregated level can be requested from the CHP.
