Two-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Accidents can happen at any time and in any place. At least one car crash occurs in the United States every sixty seconds. Hundreds of thousands of drivers are involved in collisions every day.

The most common cause of death and injury in the United States is a motor vehicle accident. Nearly 2 million people are injured in car accidents every year. A total of 36,560 people lost their lives in car accidents last year, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

It’s no secret that the state’s highways are some of the most heavily traveled in the country. Having so many vehicles on the road means that traffic congestion and gridlock are inevitable, as well as fatal and serious injury car accidents.

In California, car accidents are the leading cause of death. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2017, there were more than 3,300 fatal car accidents in California.

According to KCRA, one of California’s five deadliest highways is a stretch of I-5 in Sacramento (between Del Paseo Road and Railyards Boulevard). Around 13 fatal accidents and 16 deaths transpired on this road between 2017 and 2019.
