NOTES: 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, was dead on
arrival, or died in the emergency room. A pedalcyclist is a person on a vehicle that is
powered solely by pedals. 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).
