Young
drivers aged 16 and 17 years are a
special concern because of their high
crash rates and lack of driving
experience. Figure 6.01 shows the crash
severity of young driver crashes. Similar
to all crashes, 37% of young driver
crashes resulted in some level of
injury.
Fatal crashes were lower among young
driver crashes (0.2%) compared to all
crashes at 1%.
Table 6.01 contains the number total
crashes, the number of young driver
crashes and the percent of crashes that
involved a young driver by county. Davis,
Uintah and Washington counties had the
highest percentage of crashes that
involved a young driver. The leading
percentage of young driver injury crashes
occurred in Sanpete, Carbon and Davis.
The counties with the greatest percentage
of young driver fatal crashes were Cache,
Duchesne, Summit and Uintah.
