Coverage: Florida Highway Patrol dispatch only, and collection began September 15, so this month is partial. Our collector was running for 72% of the hours since September 15. Incidents during the gaps are not counted, so a low day may be a day we were not collecting. Accidents handled by Lakeland Police, Winter Haven Police, other city police and the Polk 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. 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, and a later police records release is added once with a note.
