Crash Indicator

Reportable crashes from the past 24 months

By Yurii Chornous · Updated June 2026

The Crash Indicator BASIC reflects state-reported crash involvement in the prior 24 months. Unlike other BASICs, individual violation codes are not tracked here — instead, crash records contribute based on severity, recency, and the carrier’s exposure.
