Hit-and-Run Accident Statistics

In the United States, hitting another vehicle and speeding away is considered a serious crime. If the driver can be identified, they will almost certainly be found guilty and face harsh consequences.

At least one person in the United States causes an accident and then flees the scene every single day. Over 2,000 people have died in such events since 2006. Approximately 60% of the fatalities were pedestrians.

One vehicle escapes the scene of every five pedestrian accidents. Because of alcohol, license issues, or the fear of getting caught, many drivers simply walk away from their automobiles.

In contrast to the 14% decline in car-related fatalities shown between 2007 and 2016, the 27% rise in pedestrian fatalities seen during that same period is particularly startling.

In California, hit-and-run accidents were the primary cause of death between 2009 and 2016. There were 3,562 deaths nationwide, and at least part of them can be attributed to the Golden State.
