In February, the NHTSA removed the 2022 data tracking car crash deaths from its website, stirring concerns about possible changes to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) that has collected data since 1975. The agency provided a vague explanation to safety advocates, stating that the removal was due to 'minor corrections.' Speculation arose about this move being connected to a Trump executive order regarding sex data reporting. Analysts and organizations dependent on FARS are anxious about the impact on identifying unsafe vehicles and trends in road safety.
