Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Every 60 seconds, a car accident occurs in the U.S. This means approximately 5.25 million car accidents occur every year throughout the country.

Tens of thousands of drivers and passengers lose their lives each year due to crashes. According to the United States Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), there were 33,654 fatal vehicle crashes in 2018, which caused 36,560 deaths.

Multi-vehicle collisions are just one type of car accident. It usually involves three or more vehicles. A “chain-reaction commonly causes this type of accident,” wherein one car will bump into another, which will cause the other vehicle to crash into another one potentially.

These accidents commonly occur due to reckless drivers, speeding, drunk drivers, and distracted drivers.
