Dear Reader:

The 2014 calendar year was another successful year for the nation in the reduction of fatal motor

vehicle crashes. It is encouraging to see that nationwide, motor vehicle fatalities have decreased to

a 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 average

of 1.52 motor vehicle fatalities per day. The law enforcement community and certain non-profit

organizations will remain committed in their respective traffic and public safety efforts. Through

enforcement and education of the motoring public, we will continue to work towards the reduction

of motor vehicle fatalities on our roadways.

As traffic-related deaths continue to be the leading cause of accidental deaths in New Jersey and the

nation, we must continue our efforts in traffic safety awareness. In 2014, the recorded nationwide

death toll on our roadways was approximately 32,675 fatalities. This is approximately 44 fewer

deaths than reported in 2013. In addition, this figure for 2014 represents approximately 4,748 fewer

deaths nationwide than what was reported 6 years ago in 2008.

On the following pages, you will find statistics concerning this past calendar years fatal motor

vehicle crashes. The information was compiled by the Fatal Accident Investigation Unit within the

Division of State Police. This report constitutes a detailed look at the causes and results of fatal

crashes throughout the state during 2014. With the continued efforts and cooperation of the public

and federal, state and local agencies, I am convinced that our traffic safety records will continue to

improve in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Joseph R. Fuentes

Colonel

Superintendent
