Some of the most common accident sites include:

  • Congested areas around Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven
  • Fairfield County, Hartford County, New Haven County, and Litchfield County
  • Cities such as Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford, and Waterbury
  • Smaller towns along state highways

Knowing which places are more prone to crashes can help residents choose safer travel routes and remain alert.
