New York Traffic Collisions

 Statistics concerning car accidents in New York City show that deadly collisions happen far too often. Car crashes remain a top cause of fatalities for those who reside in the city, and nearly 4 out of 10 crashes on our city streets result in injury or death. In fact, almost 40% of traffic collisions in NYC involved a death or serious injury in 2022. 

Additionally, that same year, there were over 100,000 total auto collisions, nearly 40,000 of which involved an injury or a death. Car crashes that occur at higher speeds are more likely to result in injury or death, or when they involve a pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist.

Across the United States, driver negligence is the main cause of the majority of auto collisions that take place. For example, driver distraction results in over 400,000 traffic collisions per year, a percentage of which result in injuries and fatalities. Additionally, speeding is the cause of around 11,000 deaths that take place annually, and driver fatigue causes more than 100,000 collisions per year.
