Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

When it comes to statistics on car accidents and the injured people, California frequently leads the nation—knowing what causes the majority of collisions and why could be understood by looking at auto accident statistics.

2,101 Californians lost their lives in single-car collisions in 2018, compared to 1,198 deaths in crashes involving two vehicles. Another 307 people lost their lives in collisions involving more than two vehicles.

It’s not the safest place to stroll next to a busy road in California. NHTSA data from 2019 show that 27% of all fatalities in car accidents involve pedestrians.

In the ten years between 2010 and 2019, there were 8,098 pedestrian fatalities, or 24% of all crash fatalities.

Numerous factors, such as drunk driving, texting while driving, speeding, and disobeying traffic laws, contribute to car accidents.
