Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Car accidents in the United States are more common than you might believe. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, every 60 seconds, a car accident happens. This means that around 5.25 million car accidents occur in the United States each year.

Every year, at least 6 million traffic accidents occur in the United States. In 2019, there were around 33,244 fatal motor vehicle crashes, resulting in 36,096 deaths.

A multi-vehicle crash occurs when three or more vehicles collide in a traffic incident. A “chain reaction” generally produces them, in which one car collides with another, forcing the other vehicle to collide with another vehicle on the road.

Drunk driving, speeding, and inattentive driving are all significant causes of multi-vehicle crashes.
