Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Accidents in traffic can be life-threatening and fatal. Because automobiles have become so frequent in our lives, most drivers are unaware of how dangerous they may become and how quickly serious and even fatal car accidents can occur.

Millions of people are injured in car accidents on American highways every year, and tens of thousands of drivers and passengers are murdered. According to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) of the United States Department of Transportation, 33,654 fatal car crashes occurred in 2018, resulting in 36,560 deaths.

A multi-vehicle collision occurs when three or more vehicles crash on the road. A “chain-reaction” crash occurs when one vehicle collides with another, potentially causing it to collide with other vehicles on the road.

According to a recent study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), multi-vehicle incidents involving passenger cars resulted in more than 13,000 fatalities each year, accounting for more than 40% of motor vehicle accidents.

Low visibility under specific driving situations affecting vehicle operators, roadways that have grown congested due to high traffic volumes, bad road conditions, and other factors are common causes of these incidents. With congested traffic, it’s difficult for many people to notice when they should brake to prevent a possible collision or obstructions on the road.
