Two-Vehicle Accident Statistics

One person is killed and ten are injured in car accidents every minute in the United States. About two million children and young adults under the age of 24 die each year from these preventable causes of mortality, and at least 10 million more are injured.

By the year 2050, it is estimated that over 10,000 people living in California will perish in automobile-related incidents. It’s a shame that forecasts anticipate a further increase in these figures in the coming years.

There has been a 23.5 percent rise in fatalities caused by cars since 2012. In 2017, there were 3,898 people killed in car accidents and an additional 279,223 people were injured. During that year, nine people per one hundred thousand who used public transportation died.

Almost every driver in California has a story of a terrifying near-miss on one of the state’s many treacherous roadways. One can lessen the chances of being in an accident by practicing defensive driving and maintaining a reliable vehicle.
