Background

The 2016 Ford F-150 fatality profile in this dataset covers 229 fatal crashes and 338 occupant fatalities, based on a snapshot dated 2026-05-02. The figures describe crash characteristics tied to fatal events rather than the broader population of all 2016 Ford F-150 vehicles on the road.

Within those 229 fatal crashes, the dataset also identifies rollover, fire, alcohol involvement, and single-vehicle cases. The result is a compact view of how fatal outcomes appeared in recorded crashes involving this model year.

Overall fatality picture

The central finding is the scale of loss attached to the 2016 Ford F-150 in this file: 229 fatal crashes and 338 occupant fatalities. The listed deaths-per-crash figure is 1.48, indicating that fatal crashes in this set often involved more than 1 occupant death.

That matters because the fatality burden is not limited to isolated single-death events. The dataset points to repeated instances in which a fatal crash produced multiple occupant deaths, reflected directly in the 338 fatalities tied to 229 crashes.

Crash circumstances

Several recurring crash circumstances appear in the findings. Single-vehicle crashes are the largest named category, with 112 crashes and a listed share of 48.87. Alcohol-involved crashes account for 33 cases and 14.58. Rollover crashes account for 22 cases and 9.56, while fire-related crashes account for 7 cases and 3.05.

Single-vehicle11248.87
Alcohol-involved3314.58
Rollover229.56
Fire-related73.05

The single-vehicle figure stands out most clearly in the table. Alcohol involvement is also notable, appearing in 33 fatal crashes. Rollover and fire are less common in absolute count, but both are present in the fatal-crash record for this vehicle.

What the pattern suggests

The profile points to a fatal-crash picture shaped heavily by loss-of-control or isolated roadway events, given the presence of 112 single-vehicle crashes. It also shows that alcohol involvement was recorded in 33 fatal crashes, making it a visible part of the fatality narrative for the 2016 Ford F-150.

Rollover appears in 22 fatal crashes, which is important because rollover events are often associated with severe outcomes in pickup crashes. Fire appears in 7 fatal crashes, a smaller count but still a documented element of the overall fatal-crash record.

Limits of the data

This dataset is a fatality profile, not a measure of defect risk, owner behavior, exposure, or vehicle population. It does not say how many 2016 Ford F-150 vehicles were registered, how many miles they traveled, or how these figures compare with other model years unless those values are provided elsewhere.

It also does not break fatalities down by roadway type, speed, seating position, restraint use, or time of day. The findings support a description of 229 fatal crashes, 338 occupant fatalities, and the listed crash circumstances, but not broader causal claims beyond those recorded categories.
