Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

A multi-vehicle accident is a crash involving more than one car. This traffic accident is often called a “pile-up,” especially when six or more cars are involved. These kinds of accidents often happen on highways where hundreds of cars are driving next to each other at high speeds.

When accidents involving numerous cars occur, the number of individuals injured and the amount of property destroyed may be overwhelming. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, multiple vehicle collisions account for 40% of all vehicle accident deaths.
