These reports are dynamic in nature and run against production data that are continually updated or modified.

For this reason, statistics provided in these reports may change with time and care is warranted when comparing statistics on reports run at different dates and times.

These reports are based on data maintained in the Missouri Statewide Traffic Accident Records System (STARS) maintained by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. All Missouri law enforcement agencies are required by law (RSMO 43.250) to submit a uniform traffic accident report to STARS if the traffic accident involved a death or personal injury, or total property damage to an apparent extent of five hundred dollars or more to one person, or who otherwise prepares a written report as a result of an investigation. It should be noted that although reports that did not occur on public roadways are maintained in STARS, these accidents are not included in the reports provided here. Accidents involving less than five hundred dollars to one person may be included here if they were reported to STARS.
