Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Congestion is a major issue on American roadways, which rank towards the top of the world’s worst traffic rankings. There are roughly 280 million registered automobiles in the country, with 227.5 million individuals driving them daily.

Every year, at least six million car accidents occur in the United States. Traffic accidents kill over 38,000 people in the United States each year, making them the biggest cause of mortality in the country.

With a population of 3.96 million people as of 2019, Los Angeles is one of the most densely populated cities in the country. It’s no surprise that traffic congestion in the city is worsening.

Despite the COVID pandemic, Los Angeles was voted the seventh most congested city in the United States in 2020.

In this case, multiple vehicles were involved in the crash. When three or more vehicles are involved in a crash, it’s often referred to as a “multi-vehicle collision.”

According to a recent NHTSA study, more than 13,000 people die in multi-vehicle incidents involving passenger vehicles each year, accounting for more than 40% of all motor vehicle fatalities.
