Frequently Asked Questions
Where do fatal crashes most frequently happen?
They tend to cluster on busy arterial roads and intersections where vehicles cross paths at speed.
What makes a crash more likely to turn deadly?
Higher speeds, larger size differences between vehicles, and the angle of impact all play a role in whether a crash proves fatal.
How does speed affect whether people survive a crash?
Even modest increases in speed raise the force involved in a collision, which lowers the odds of survival for occupants in all vehicles involved.
Why does wearing a seat belt matter so much?
A seat belt keeps occupants from being thrown within or out of the vehicle during a collision, which lowers the risk of severe or fatal injury.
