Data source: TSTC analysis of New York State Department of Transportations Accident Data Files. 1. Multi vehicle collisions involving pedestrians or bicyclists are not always recorded as collisions with pedestrians or bicyclists as it depends on the reporting officer's interpretation of the crash event and the sequence of the crash event. This may result in an underreporting of vehicle collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists.
