Meanwhile, the Ford driver was moderately injured but is expected to recover. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

The United States has the highest rate of road traffic fatalities of any high-income country, almost 50 percent higher than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

According to the most recent data from the IIHS, 36,096 people were killed in car accidents in 2019. A multi-vehicle collision occurred in this case.

A two-vehicle collision is frequently the start of a multi-vehicle accident. The total accident is characterized as a multi-vehicle or chain-reaction collision if the first collision creates further crashes, culminating in a chain reaction.

Multi-vehicle crashes account for less than 10% of all collisions in a given year. Yet, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), they result in a disproportionate number of fatalities.
