DISCLAIMER: This chart may be based on preliminary information that has not yet been verified and may be changed at a later date due to additional investigation. Additionally, the data entry process may include mechanical and/or human errors. Therefore, the Vermont State Police does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct sequencing of the information provided in this chart. SUMMARY: This chart contains information related to fatal traffic crashes reported by the Vermont State Police between January 1, 2010 and the prior month to date. These data are extracted from the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s electronic crash reporting system, WebCrash, on a monthly basis. This particular chart is made available in an effort to highlight the dangerous nature of Vermont highways, and that nearly half of all traffic fatalities since 2010 were unbuckled. Should you have questions about this data, please contact the Vermont Agency of Transportation at 802-828-2657.
