Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), approximately 38,000 people were killed due to motor vehicle accidents in the U.S. in 2019 alone.

Car accidents are sometimes 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.

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.

When a car accident occurs, the victims, their families, and the entire community are often devastated. Thousands of people must deal with grief and sudden loss in the wake of California’s deadly accidents.
