Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

California has a population of around 40 million people. So it’s no surprise that car accidents occur daily across the state.

Car accident fatalities in California reached 3,563 in 2018, according to the state’s Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). Thousands of people must deal with grief and sudden loss in the wake of California’s deadly accidents.

In this case, a multi-vehicle collision occurred. When three or more vehicles are involved in a collision, the accident is considered a “multi-vehicle” collision. A “chain reaction commonly causes this type of accident,” wherein one car will bump into another, which will cause the other vehicle to crash into another.

According to NHTSA statistics, more than 13,000 people died in multi-vehicle collisions involving passenger automobiles, accounting for more than 40% of motor vehicle accidents yearly.
These accidents commonly occur due to reckless drivers, speeding, drunk drivers, and distracted drivers.
