Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Traffic is a constant problem in California, especially in major metropolises like Los Angeles and San Francisco. Careless drivers who aren’t anticipating heavy traffic can cause harm to themselves and others on the road.

In 2020, there will be 42,357 car accidents in Los Angeles, according to the LAPD. These accidents are believed to have killed at least 238 people.

In this instance, there was a collision involving several vehicles. Many of these collisions occur on highways, where many vehicles are traveling at high speeds close to one another. One consequence is that it is nearly impossible for many vehicles approaching an accident to slow down safely.

It is estimated that more than 13,000 people are killed in multi-vehicle collisions involving passenger vehicles each year, accounting for more than 40% of all motor vehicle accidents.
