Traffic Collision Statistics

In the United States, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury. Car accidents injure nearly 2 million people each year. Between 36,000 and 40,000 people die each year as a result of car accident injuries.

The state of California is well-known for having some of the nation’s busiest and most congested highways. With so many vehicles on the road, congestion, bottlenecks, and (most importantly) car accidents, both fatal and major injury incidents, are inevitable.

Accidents, on the other hand, continue to be a leading cause of death in California. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a total of 3,304 people were killed in car accidents across California in 2017.

As a driver, you are responsible for a large percentage of the accidents that occur on the road. Car accidents are also caused by bad weather and slick roads but to a lesser extent.
