Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Car accidents happen every day on U.S. roadways. These accidents can be life-altering and traumatic. Because of how universal cars are to our lives, drivers often forget just how dangerous they can become and that severe and even deadly car crashes can occur.

According to the United States Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 33,654 fatal vehicle crashes in 2018 caused 36,560 deaths. Multi-vehicle collisions are just one type of car accident. This type of accident usually occurs when three or more cars are involved in the accident.

They commonly stem from a “chain-reaction” crash, wherein one vehicle will bump into another, causing it to crash into other cars on the roadway potentially. These types of crashes are commonly caused by drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving.
