Top Contributing Factors
The leading contributing factors for crashes shifted between the two years. "Failed to yield right of way" saw a significant increase, more than doubling from 21 crashes in 2023 to 49 in 2024, making it the second most cited factor in the current period. Crashes attributed to "Failure to keep in proper lane or running off road" also doubled in count from 11 to 22. Conversely, crashes attributed to "Followed too closely" decreased from 21 to 13 incidents.

Road & Environmental Conditions
The distribution of crashes across environmental conditions showed a notable shift, particularly concerning winter weather. Crashes occurring on snow or ice-covered roads increased from 9 incidents in 2023 to 44 in 2024. Correspondingly, crashes reported during snow or sleet conditions rose from 6 to 33. While most crashes in both years happened in daylight on dry roads, the proportion of crashes in these ideal conditions decreased in 2024 as adverse weather-related incidents became more frequent.

Vehicles & Demographics
While the top vehicle makes involved in crashes—Toyota, Ford, and Chevrolet—remained consistent across both years with increased counts, the age demographics of persons involved showed a significant change. The number of individuals in the 16-20 age group more than doubled, rising from 40 in 2023 to 91 in 2024. As a result, this group's share of all persons involved in crashes increased from 8.6% to 15.7%. The representation of other age groups remained relatively stable year-over-year.

Speed Limit Zones

Data Sources & Methodology
Primary Data Source
All crash data in this report is sourced from Massachusetts Crash Data (MassDOT CDV), accessed programmatically via the Arcgis_yearly Open Data API (SODA). This dataset contains official police-reported motor vehicle traffic crash records maintained by the reporting jurisdiction's law enforcement agency. Records are published to the open data portal by the municipality and are subject to the portal's terms of use.
Data Retrieval
- Access method: Arcgis_yearly Open Data API (SoQL queries)
- Data format: Structured JSON via REST API
- Record types queried: Crash events, person records, and vehicle unit records
- Date filter applied: 2024-01-01 through 2024-12-31
- Report generated: June 21, 2026
Data Coverage
- Reporting period: 2024-01-01 through 2024-12-31 (366 days)
- Geographic scope: REHOBOTH, MA
- Total crash records analyzed: 289
- Total persons involved: 578
- Total vehicles involved: 450
Analytical Methodology
- Severity classification: Uses the KABCO injury scale (K=Fatal, A=Incapacitating injury, B=Non-incapacitating injury, C=Possible injury, O=No injury/property damage only), the standard classification in U.S. Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC). Severity is assigned per crash event based on the most severe injury in that crash. A single fatal crash (K) may involve multiple fatalities; therefore the "Persons Killed" count in the headline KPIs may differ from the "Fatal" crash count in the severity breakdown.
- Contributing factors: Reflect the officer-determined primary contributory cause recorded at the time of the crash report. These are preliminary determinations and may not reflect final investigation findings.
- Hit-and-run classification: Based on the hit-and-run indicator field in the official crash report, as determined by the responding officer at the scene.
- Temporal analysis: Day-of-week and hour-of-day distributions are computed from the crash date/time timestamp in each record.
- Demographics: Age and sex distributions are drawn from person-level records linked to each crash event. A single crash may involve multiple persons.
- Vehicle data: Make information is drawn from vehicle unit records linked to each crash event.
- AI commentary: Narrative sections are generated by Google Gemini (large language model) based on the structured data. Commentary is descriptive, not predictive, and should not be interpreted as expert opinion.
Limitations & Disclaimers
- Only crashes reported to and documented by law enforcement are included. Minor incidents, unreported crashes, and near-misses are not captured in this dataset.
- Data reflects conditions at the time of the initial police report and may be subject to subsequent corrections, reclassifications, or supplements by the reporting agency.
- Open data portal records may experience a publication lag - recently occurring crashes may not yet appear in the dataset at the time of report generation.
- AI-generated commentary is produced by a large language model and is intended to highlight patterns in the data. It does not constitute legal, medical, or professional analysis.
- Percentages are calculated from reported data and are subject to rounding.
