High-Speed Collisions in New York
Speeding is one of the primary causes of traffic-related fatalities and injuries. New York drivers are known to exceed the speed limit, which significantly raises the chance of an accident for many reasons. Among many others, the longer stopping distance and slower reaction time are two of the most important. In a recent year, speeding drivers were involved in 4,526 crashes in New York City, making up 4 percent of all crashes. In the city in 2022, reckless drivers were responsible for 3,940 motor vehicle accidents. A total of 12,151 individuals lost their lives in high-speed collisions on American roads that year, contributing to nearly 29 percent of traffic deaths. That comes up to an average of more than 33 speed-related deaths every day.
