Traffic Accident Statistics

A traffic accident can result in serious injuries to any part of one’s body. Worse, it has the potential to be fatal. Because vehicles are one of the most frequently utilized modes of transportation, accidents are common.

The California Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) recorded 1,628 collisions in Monterey County in 2021, resulting in over 2000 injuries and 46 tragic fatalities. In comparison, 110 of the accidents were head-on collisions. They injured 206 people and killed seven of them.

Though statistics on fatalities in Monterey are low compared to other parts of the state, it is not something the government should be happy about. Road safety laws should be strictly enforced, and safety should be the paramount concern of all drivers.
