[08-24-2022] San Diego County, CA – A Multi-Vehicle Crash in the South Bay Caused at Least One Severe Injury

One pedestrian suffered a severe injury after a multi-vehicle collision in the South Bay on Wednesday morning, August 24, 2022.

According to the CHP, the collision happened just before 6 a.m. on southbound I-5 near E Street.

Callers reported that a silver Honda CRV was rear-ended, starting a chain reaction that involved up to four vehicles.

According to the CHP, at least one of the cars rolled and came to rest on its roof, but more information about the car was not immediately available.

It was evident from the video from FOX 5’s Commuter Carl that it was an older truck or SUV.

The authorities did not provide additional details, but at least one “major injury” was reported due to the collision.

Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Collisions involving multiple vehicles are one type of auto accident. It is not unusual for up to three cars to be involved. This type of accident frequently results from a “chain reaction,” whereby one car crashes into another, pushing the other vehicle into another.

In the United States, car accidents result in millions of injuries and thousands of fatalities every year. Thirty-six thousand five hundred sixty people lost their lives in automobile accidents in 2017, according to the Fatality Analysis Report System (FARS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Over 38,000 people perish each year in traffic collisions in the U.S. 11.4% of 100,000 people die in traffic-related incidents in the United States. With a rate roughly half that of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan, most road traffic fatalities in high-income nations occur in the United States.

The number of traffic accidents has increased significantly in the U.S. over time. Accidents will occur more frequently as more people drive, which is a negative trend.

Drunk driving, excessive speeding, and distracted driving are the leading causes of collisions.
