Fatal Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

A commercial vehicle is defined in California as a vehicle used or maintained for the transportation of people for hire, compensation, or profit, or a vehicle designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property. Ambulances fall under the category of commercial vehicles.

Approximately 6,500 ambulances are involved in accidents each year. In 35% of the cases, at least one occupant of a vehicle involved in the accident was injured or killed. On average, there are three different types of injuries per collision. Every year, 33 people are killed in 29 deadly ambulance accidents.

The majority of collisions and fatalities occurred in emergencies and at intersections. People who were not in the ambulance sustained the majority of the injuries. Those in the back were more likely to be injured than those in the front.

These collisions are caused by various factors, including distracted driving, intoxicated driving, and driver exhaustion.

If you’re near an ambulance, make sure to give them enough room to maneuver. The larger the vehicle, the more space it requires to turn safely. Keep an eye out for commercial vehicles’ turn signals and slow down to give them enough room to make turns or lane changes.
