Fatal Car Accident Statistics In New Jersey
While fatal car collisions have decreased, they remain a concern. Common causes include vehicular manslaughter due to DUIs or distracted driving, rollover accidents, rideshare accidents and head-on collisions. Truck accidents also contribute to fatal New Jersey crashes.
These statistics show how fatal accidents continue to impact local families:
- In 2023, there were 574 fatal crashes in New Jersey.
- These accidents resulted in 606 fatalities.
- A majority of the fatal crashes involved passenger vehicles.
Despite the slight decrease in deadly crashes from the previous year, each statistic represents a family left in mourning. Not only are they emotionally bereft, but many also face financial hardships caused by the death of their loved ones.
