Ford Fusion 2016 Fatality Profile

Background

The 2016 Ford Fusion fatality profile in this dataset covers 183 fatal crashes and 500 occupant fatalities, based on a snapshot dated 2026-05-02. The figures describe crash circumstances tied to fatal events rather than broader ownership experience, reliability, or non-fatal safety outcomes.

Within those 183 fatal crashes, the dataset also reports 2.73 deaths per crash. Several crash-type markers appear in the file, including rollover, fire, alcohol involvement, and single-vehicle events.

Overall fatality picture

The central finding is the scale of fatal outcomes attached to the 2016 Ford Fusion in this record: 183 fatal crashes and 500 occupant fatalities. That makes occupant deaths the dominant measure in the file, with deaths per crash listed at 2.73.

The dataset does not break fatalities out by roadway type, speed, seating position, restraint use, or impact configuration. It is therefore best read as a high-level fatal-crash profile rather than a full reconstruction of how these deaths occurred.

Crash circumstances in the fatal cases

Single-vehicle crashes account for the largest named category in the file. The dataset lists 98 single-vehicle fatal crashes, representing 53.65 of fatal crashes.

Alcohol involvement is also prominent. The file records 32 alcohol-involved fatal crashes, or 17.25.

Rollover appears in 23 fatal crashes, with rollover_pct listed at 12.57. Fire is less common but still present, with 7 fatal crashes and a fire_pct of 3.95.

Crash factor	Crashes	Share
Single-vehicle	98	53.65
Alcohol-involved	32	17.25
Rollover	23	12.57
Fire	7	3.95

What stands out in the pattern

The most notable pattern is the weight of single-vehicle fatal crashes. At 98 cases and 53.65, this category exceeds every other circumstance named in the findings.

Alcohol involvement forms another visible part of the fatal-crash picture, appearing in 32 crashes and 17.25. Rollover, at 23 crashes and 12.57, suggests that loss-of-control or high-severity crash dynamics are part of the profile in a meaningful subset of cases. Fire remains comparatively rare at 7 crashes and 3.95, but its presence indicates that post-crash vehicle fire did occur in the fatal record.

Because the findings do not show overlap between categories, the file cannot establish how many crashes involved both alcohol and rollover, or both fire and single-vehicle conditions. The categories should therefore be read as separate descriptors from the dataset, not as mutually exclusive groups.

Limits of the record

This profile is narrow by design. It does not compare the 2016 Ford Fusion with other model years, other midsize sedans, or the full vehicle population. It also does not identify whether the 500 occupant fatalities occurred in the Ford Fusion, in other vehicles, or across all involved occupants beyond the wording used in the file.

The snapshot date is 2026-05-02, and the record was computed at 2026-07-07T06:00:04.120445+00:00. As with any fatal-crash dataset, later updates or case revisions may change totals.
