Multi-Vehicle Accident Statistics

Every minute, someone somewhere in the United States reports a car crash to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Tragically, car accidents claim the lives of about 3,000 Californians annually.

Over 110,000 people each year die in automobile-related incidents in the United States, according to the National Safety Council. Since 1990, automobile incidents in California have resulted in 3,898 deaths and 2,710,000 injuries.

In the five years since 2013, the death rate has increased by an average of 23.5% per year, and experts predict that this increasing trend will continue for some time if government actions are insufficient.

A “multi-vehicle crash” occurs when three or more cars collide with each other. Over 13,000 people were killed in crashes involving four or more vehicles in 2010, according to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
