Project overview
Exploratory data analysis of California Traffic Collision database from SWITRS. The analysis was done to discover insights and trends in the data.
Some insights from the analysis
The database contained records of collisions from 1st of january, 2001 to 3rd of june, 2021
The year 2002 had the highest collisions recorded. The top 3 years with highest collsions records are 2002, 2003,2004.

Overall, 73007 died due to traffic collisions, while more than 5 million people sustained various forms of injury
The number one PCF (Primary Collision Factor) Violation Category is speeding
About 16.51% of the overall traffic collisions happened on Friday,followed by thursdays with 14.77% while sunday has the lowest collision and accounts for about 11.7% of overall traffic collisions
With respect to the parties directly involved in collisions, males make up about 61.27% of the total people involved while females and non binary make up 38.7% and 0.02% respectively
