Rural and urban boundaries are determined by the State highway departments and approved by the Federal Highway Administration.In 2006, there were 38,588 fatal crashes resulting in 42,642 deaths. Rural areas accounted for 55 percent of the fatal crashes and 57 percent of the fatalities. Urban areas accounted for 45 percent of the fatal crashes and 43 percent of the fatalities.
