Ram 1500 2016 Fatality Profile

Background

The 2016 Ram 1500 fatality profile in this dataset covers 175 fatal crashes linked to 289 occupant fatalities, with a snapshot date of 2026-05-02. The figures describe crash characteristics rather than ownership experience, and they focus on the circumstances present in fatal events involving this model year.

A central headline figure is the severity of loss: 289 occupant fatalities across 175 fatal crashes. The dataset also lists 1.65 deaths per crash.

Overall fatal-crash picture

The profile shows that fatal crashes involving the 2016 Ram 1500 were often concentrated in a few recurring crash types. Single-vehicle events were the largest named category in the findings, at 85 crashes, or 48.8. Rollover crashes accounted for 34 crashes, or 19.65, while alcohol-involved crashes accounted for 27 crashes, or 15.34. Fire was present in 12 crashes, or 6.84.

These figures do not describe every crash factor in the file, but they identify several of the most consequential patterns attached to fatal outcomes for this vehicle.

Key crash circumstances

Crash circumstance	Crashes	Share
Single-vehicle	85	48.8
Rollover	34	19.65
Alcohol-involved	27	15.34
Fire	12	6.84

Single-vehicle crashes stand out most clearly in the findings. The dataset records 85 such crashes, making this the most common listed circumstance among the fatal crashes in the profile.

Rollover is also prominent. The file lists 34 rollover crashes and a rollover share of 19.65, indicating that loss of control and vehicle instability were present in a notable portion of fatal events.

Alcohol involvement appears in 27 crashes, with a listed share of 15.34. Fire appears less often in the file, but 12 fatal crashes and 6.84 still mark it as a serious, if less frequent, element in the overall picture.

Severity outcomes

The severity of these crashes is reflected in the relationship between fatal crashes and occupant deaths. The dataset records 175 fatal crashes and 289 occupant fatalities, alongside a listed rate of 1.65 deaths per crash.

That combination suggests that many fatal events did not end with only a single occupant death. In practical terms, the profile points to repeated exposure to high-severity crash conditions in which the consequences extended beyond one fatality in a substantial number of cases.

What this profile can and cannot say

This dataset is a fatality snapshot for the 2016 Ram 1500 as of 2026-05-02. It identifies 175 fatal crashes, 289 occupant fatalities, and several named crash circumstances, but it does not provide roadway type, speed, restraint use, weather, seating position, or fault detail in the findings shown here.

It also does not break out how rollover, fire, alcohol involvement, and single-vehicle status overlap within the same crashes. As a result, the figures should be read as parallel indicators within the fatal-crash record, not as separate groups.
