Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics
Traffic safety is an essential component of a sustainable community since it encourages accessible and safe modes of transportation such as driving, riding public transportation, biking, and walking.
According to a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study, over 13,000 people were killed in multi-vehicle incidents involving passenger vehicles, accounting for more than 40% of all vehicle accidents each year.
When more than one vehicle is involved in an accident, drivers sometimes don’t have much time to determine what to do to avoid colliding with the cars in front of them. Most terrified drivers hit the brakes too late, veer into oncoming traffic, and skid. It’s no surprise that a multi-car accident is one of the most deadly things on the road.
