Fatal Two-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Car accidents are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations in the United States. Every year, almost two million people are injured in motor vehicle collisions.

Sadly, many of these incidents take place in California. More than 200,000 people are hurt in traffic accidents every year.

The population of Riverside County is over 2 million, making it the state’s fourth most populous county. One of the worst places to drive in the United States.

In Riverside, California, there were 2,119 people injured or killed in automobile accidents in 2017. Highways 91, 215, and 60, as well as city streets like Jurupa Avenue and Wells Avenue, were all involved in these crashes.

Drinking and driving, distracted driving, speeding, and total disregard for traffic laws are significant contributors to these accidents.

Most of these tragedies are compounded by the fact that they were preventable. Distracted driving is directly or indirectly responsible for roughly 80% of all traffic accidents.
