The race/ethnicity and gender of motor vehicle crash victims during the
2020 Illinois stay at home order are compared to the previous four
years. The median poverty rate of crash victims are compared across the
five years of 2016-20, and is strongly associated with Black males and
females. Several contributing crash factors like speed, distracted
driving, seat belt use, and intoxication are also compared. Within
race/ethnicity females significantly decreased their proportion of crash
involvement while males significantly increased theirs. An interrupted
time series analysis and a segmented binary logistic regression are used
in conjunction with a
presentation of summary statistics.
