How many traffic collisions are reported each year?

Traffic collisions vary significantly by country and region, but globally, it is estimated that there are around 1.35 million fatalities and tens of millions of injuries each year due to road traffic crashes. In the United States alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports approximately 6 million police-reported traffic collisions annually. The numbers can fluctuate based on factors such as population density, road conditions, and enforcement of traffic laws.
