Car Accident Data in California

California sees a high number of deadly car accidents each year. In 2022 alone, over 4,000 people lost their lives in crashes across the state. Many of these incidents involve speeding, distracted driving, and impaired drivers. Rear-end collisions, particularly those involving stopped or disabled vehicles, are especially dangerous as they often occur at high speeds.

Several key factors contribute to fatal accidents on California roads:

• Highway Speeds: Vehicles traveling at high speeds have less time to react to sudden stops, increasing the severity of collisions. Crashes at freeway speeds are more likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities.
• Driver Inattention: Distracted driving, such as texting or adjusting in-car settings, can prevent drivers from noticing stopped vehicles until it is too late.
• Poor Visibility: Nighttime crashes are more common due to reduced visibility, making it harder for drivers to spot hazards like disabled vehicles.
• Mechanical Failures: Cars breaking down on busy roadways can become deadly obstacles, especially when other drivers do not have time to avoid them.
• Traffic Congestion: Stop-and-go traffic on highways can lead to sudden braking, increasing the likelihood of rear-end crashes.
