Traffic fatality data from 2006. Thought this might serve as a reminder of the dangers on the road, and possibly point out specific trouble spots.

Data point names include the state + observation number (from the source download) + date of incident. Comment includes number of fatalities + weather conditions (if given) and day of week.

Generated a report with the variables mentioned above, by case, in csv format. Cleanup and review was needed to get the data ready for transfer to the Nuvi.

Data was reviewed to remove data points with invalid location information and reviewed for reasonable fit within boundaries via import to Google Earth (after KMLCSV Converter manipulation). Please let me know if you spot errors and I will correct and update.
