In June 2023, Ohio recorded 19,977 total traffic crashes, a 5.5% decrease from the 21,134 crashes reported in June 2022. Despite the overall reduction in collisions and a 5.4% drop in total injuries, the number of fatalities increased by 10.2%, rising from 108 to 119 year-over-year. This points to a rise in crash severity even as the total volume of crashes declined.

Hit-and-Run Crashes — June 2023
▼ -1.3% vs prior (3,746)
While the absolute number of hit-and-run crashes decreased slightly from 3,746 in June 2022 to 3,696 in June 2023, the hit-and-run rate trended upwards. These incidents accounted for 18.5% of all crashes in the current period, an increase from the 17.7% rate observed in the same month of the previous year. This indicates that despite a drop in total collisions, hit-and-runs became a slightly larger proportion of the remaining crashes.

Data Sources & Methodology
Primary Data Source
All crash data in this report is sourced from Ohio Crash Data (ODOT TIMS), accessed programmatically via the Csv 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: Csv 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: 2023-06-01 through 2023-06-30
- Report generated: July 5, 2026
Data Coverage
- Reporting period: 2023-06-01 through 2023-06-30 (30 days)
- Geographic scope: ohio, OH
- Total crash records analyzed: 19,977
- Total persons involved: 45,614
- Total vehicles involved: 36,240
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.
