CHP officials responded to the scene and found a 2004 Subaru rolled over on Highway 198’s north shoulder after it left the roadway based on the marks left by the vehicle on the road.

Fatal Car Accident Statistics

The National Safety Council reports an increase in traffic deaths across the country in 2020 due to causes such as drivers failing to wear seatbelts, violating speed limits, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The previous three years saw a decrease in death rates, so this 8.3% increase is particularly shocking. In 2020, there were 42,338 people killed in car accidents, an increase from 39,107 in 2019.

Deaths per 10,000 registered automobiles have decreased from 33 in 1913 to 1.53 in 2020, a 95% decrease, despite this rise. Only 1.3 million cars were on the road in 1913, but they claimed the lives of 4,200 individuals. In 2020, 276 million automobiles were on the road, and 42,338 people lost their lives.

When compared to 2010, 2020 saw a decrease in population (0.4% more people), registered automobiles (-0.2%), and kilometers traveled (-11.0%). The ensuing increases were 7.9% for individuals, 8.5% for vehicles, and 21.7% for deaths per mile traveled.

By 2020, over 4.81 million people had sought medical attention following a car crash-related injury. The cost of caring for those harmed in car crashes was estimated to be $473.2 billion. It’s expensive for businesses to have employees miss time at work and pay for their medical bills, paperwork, and damage to corporate vehicles.
