Struck-By Incidents Database Reporting and Statistics

The Emergency Responder Safety Institute (ERSI), a committee of the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firefighters Association (CVVFA), maintains the only national database of reports of struck-by incidents that occur when a responder or an emergency vehicle is hit while operating at a roadway incident. All responders from all disciplines are encouraged to report any struck-by incident they are aware of. All reports are vetted before they are released into the data set for analysis. The ERSI periodically analyzes the data and releases reports. Those reports will be listed on this page.

To report a struck-by incident to the database, click the "Report a Struck-By Incident" button below. For easy access to the reporting form, click the "Add Icon to Home Screen" button.

Use the filters above the dashboard graphs to obtain aggregate statistics from the database of vetted reports. The graphs will change to display statistics that match your filters query. Click “Download PDF” to download a PDF of the dashboard data as displayed.

Note: The dataset is of voluntary reports from the field and may not include all struck-by line-of-duty deaths or all struck-by incidents. The ERSI tracks LODD struck-by fatalities manually; please visit the Yearly Fatality Reports page for information on all known struck-by LODDs since 2019. A map of struck-by LODDs is also available.
