Nissan Altima 2017 Fatality Profile
Statistical research from AutoIndex24.
Background
The fatality record for the 2017 Nissan Altima in this dataset centers on 188 fatal crashes and 424 occupant fatalities, based on a snapshot dated 2026-05-02. The profile points to a vehicle involved in a substantial number of deadly incidents, with the findings also listing 2.26 deaths per crash.
This is a crash-outcome snapshot rather than a defect analysis. It describes the circumstances present in fatal crashes tied to the 2017 Altima, including rollover, fire, alcohol involvement, and whether the crash was a single-vehicle event.
Overall fatality picture
The headline figures are stark: 188 fatal crashes and 424 occupant fatalities. The dataset also reports 2.26 deaths per crash, indicating that many fatal incidents involved more than one death.
Several recurring crash characteristics appear in the findings. Single-vehicle crashes account for 53.09 of fatal crashes, while alcohol-involved crashes account for 17.08. Rollover appears in 7.67, and fire in 6.93.
Crash circumstances in the data
Among the 188 fatal crashes, the findings identify 100 single-vehicle crashes, 32 alcohol-involved crashes, 14 rollover crashes, and 13 fire crashes. Presented together, those figures show that single-vehicle events are the most common named circumstance in this fatality profile.
| Crash factor | Crashes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Single-vehicle | 100 | 53.09 |
| Alcohol-involved | 32 | 17.08 |
| Rollover | 14 | 7.67 |
| Fire | 13 | 6.93 |
The table does not imply that these categories are exclusive. A fatal crash can involve more than one of these conditions.
What stands out
The most prominent pattern in the findings is the prevalence of single-vehicle fatal crashes: 100 of the 188 fatal crashes are listed as single-vehicle events. Alcohol involvement is also notable, appearing in 32 fatal crashes.
Rollover and fire are less common than single-vehicle and alcohol-related cases, but they remain present in the record. The dataset lists 14 rollover crashes and 13 fire crashes, showing that both severe crash dynamics and post-crash hazards appear in the fatality profile.
Severity outcomes
The severity of these crashes is reflected in the total of 424 occupant fatalities. The reported 2.26 deaths per crash underscores that the fatal burden was not limited to isolated one-fatality events.
Because the findings are limited to fatal crashes, they do not describe non-fatal injury outcomes, property-damage-only incidents, or broader exposure such as sales volume, miles traveled, or fleet size. What they do show is the concentration of deadly outcomes within 188 fatal events involving the 2017 Nissan Altima.
Limitations
This dataset is narrow in scope. It does not identify fault, roadway type, speed, restraint use, weather, or the age of occupants. It also does not break fatalities into driver, passenger, or other road-user categories; the available figure is 424 occupant fatalities.
The snapshot date is 2026-05-02, and the findings were computed at 2026-06-20. As presented, the profile should be read as a descriptive summary of recorded fatal crashes involving the 2017 Nissan Altima, not as a full causal explanation.
