A minor injury is one in which the victim was treated and
released. A serious injury is one in which the victim was
either hospitalized or treated and transferred to another
facility. Data are the share of injuries that were serious
for one person type (e.g., the share of seriously injured
pedestrians of all injured pedestrians).
