Coverage: Florida Highway Patrol dispatch and Tampa Police traffic calls only. Our collector was running for 92% of the hours this month. Incidents during the gaps are not counted, so a low day may be a day we were not collecting. Accidents handled by other city police and the Hillsborough County Sheriff are not included.

Method
Incidents are read from Florida Highway Patrol's public dispatch view once a minute and assigned to a road, city and ZIP from the reported location. Tampa Police traffic calls are read from the city's public list once an hour, a few hours after each call. Addresses are rounded to the block. Nothing about the people or vehicles involved is collected. Counts are what we observed while collecting, not a census of every accident. When a month ends its figures are frozen.
