Unfortunately, driving comes with no guarantees.

We put our health and safety at risk whenever we get into the car, and the uncomfortable truth is that, no matter how well we personally drive, we’re also subject to the other people on the road. Even with a good car and nice safety features, things happen, and roadway accidents kill around 43,000 people across the U.S. each year.

To identify the U.S. cities where the most people die in car crashes, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed roadway fatality data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System. A total of 5,371 cities were ranked by the number of fatalities. Only the 51 cities with over 45 fatalities from car crashes in 2021 are listed here. Population data came from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey and are five-year estimates for 2022. All other data is from FARS.

Why You Need to Be Aware

Between 2018 and 2022, deadly car accidents in the U.S. increased by more than 16%. This is due to several factors, including drunk driving, lack of seatbelt use, and speeding. Knowing which cities see the highest number of auto fatalities can help increase your awareness and keep you safe on the road. Having this information is especially important if you live in one of these cities. When traveling through the locations on this list, drivers should remain extra vigilant.
