Auto Accident Statistics in Arizona
According to car accident statistics that were released by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), over 116,600 cars, trucks and motorcycles were involved
in auto accidents in Arizona during 2015. There are many factors that lead to
these auto accidents. But many causes are common from state to state. Quite
frequently, car accidents can be prevented.
In 2012, there
were over a staggering two million drivers and passengers who sustained injuries. Another
21,000 people suffered fatal injuries. This means that there were about 60
deaths from auto accidents each day that year. Sadly, many of these injuries
and deaths could have been prevented.
