- Single Vehicle Accidents: These accidents involve just one vehicle, whether crashing into a fixed object, animal, or pedestrian or the driver losing control, accounting for around 50% of traffic fatalities in the U.S.
- Rear-End Accidents: These accidents occur when one vehicle’s front end collides with the rear end of another vehicle. These vehicles often occur due to tailgating or driver distraction. Each year, the U.S. witnesses more than 1.7 million rear-end collisions.
