What the Ohio figures mean

The Ohio State Highway Patrol reported 215 motorcycle-involved fatal traffic crashes resulting in 219 deaths in 2024, in its 2024 Operational Report. The report describes the data as provisional. These are fatal crashes, not all motorcycle crashes, and they are not a count of injuries.

What the NYC feed means

2026 matching records through 2026-11-03. Retrieved 2026-11-08. Preliminary NYC records; latest event date is not a completeness cutoff. Counts collision records, not injured motorcyclists. Not a U.S. total.

The NYC feed counts police-reported collision records with a vehicle field classified as a motorcycle. It is preliminary and revisable. It is not a U.S. total and it does not identify how many injured people were motorcyclists.
