Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

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.

Car accidents in the U.S. happen more often than you think. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, a car accident occurs every 60 seconds. This means approximately 5.25 million car accidents occur every year throughout the country.

Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Driving anywhere in California is risky. The majority of collisions, however, are preventable. 94% of all accidents are attributable to human error.
