Motor vehicle crashes occur regularly throughout New Jersey, often resulting in injuries that require medical attention. The state sees an average of 275,000 accidents annually, many of which occur at busy intersections. These incidents frequently lead to hospitalizations and financial burdens for those involved.

Many accidents occur due to preventable factors. Here are some of the most common causes of collisions:
