NJ DOT Raw Crash Data

NJ DOT publishes raw crash data, including property-damage, injury, and fatal crashes, going back to 2001 (≈6MM records).

The data currently ends in 2021, after a drop in all types of crashes due to COVID, and mid-way through a spike in fatal crashes in 2021-2022 (based on the NJSP data above). 2022 data should land in early 2024.
