In 2023, the U.S. recorded 40,990 car accident fatalities, a decline from 2021's 42,939, primarily caused by factors like distracted driving and speeding.
The review of roadway fatality data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed that the largest city by state population often has the most fatalities, but that's not always the case.
Surprisingly, smaller cities in states like Idaho and West Virginia show high fatality rates, along with the third-largest cities in Maine and North Dakota.
With a focus on populations, Alabama's Birmingham, California's Los Angeles, and more populous cities lead in car crash fatalities, highlighting the correlation between population density and safety.
