Motor vehicle collisions (MVC's) refer to any crashes involving motorized vehicles. This includes traffic collisions, those that occur on public streets and highways, and non-traffic collisions, which occur elsewhere, such as off-road. Collisions can include one or more motor vehicles that result in injury or death to the driver, passengers, pedestrians or those riding bicycles.

This HealthSTATS page provides data on injuries to individuals on off-road motor vehicles including all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and snowmobiles.

From 2003-07, there were 2,940 Emergency Room (ER) visits for off-road motor vehicle injuries in Simcoe Muskoka residents. The number of ATV injuries was nearly double the number of snowmobile injuries and the majority (80%) of the injuries occurred among males. Almost half (44%) of all off-road related ER visits occurred among residents ages 10 to 24; 65% were ATV related injuries and 35% were snowmobile related injuries. The ER visit rate in Simcoe Muskoka was more than double the Ontario rate. The ER data come from the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS).

Between 2003-07, there were 382 hospitalizations for off-road motor vehicle injuries in Simcoe Muskoka residents. Fifty-five per cent were ATV-related injuries and 45% were snowmobile related injuries; the majority (83%) were male. More than one quarter (26%) were between the ages of 15 to 24 years and the hospitalization rate was almost double that of Ontario. ATV related injuries more closely resemble those associated with MVC's than bicycling (e.g. spinal and deep tissue injury). The hospitalization data come from the Discharage Abstract Database (DAD).

Between 2000-04, 26 residents died from off-road motor vehicle injuries. The majority (89%) were male and more than one-third (38%) of deaths occurred among those between the ages of 15 to 29 years. The death data come from the Vital Statistics database for Ontario.
