Fatal Two-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Accidents involving vehicles can occur at any time and in any location. Every sixty seconds, a car accident occurs somewhere in the United States. It’s impossible to avoid accidents when there are so many people on the road at the same time.

In the United States, car accidents are the leading cause of death and serious injury. Every year, approximately two million people are injured or killed in car accidents. Last year, 36,560 people were killed in car accidents, according to the US Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
