Overview of Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes in 2024 [Traffic Safety Facts}

There were 1,771 fewer people killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes on U.S. roadways during 2024, a 4.3-percent decrease from 41,025 in 2023 to 39,254 in 2024. The fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) decreased 5.6 percent from 1.26 in 2023 to 1.19 in 2024.
