Fatal Accidents in Maryland
According to data from the Maryland Department of Transportation, there were over 110,000 reported car crashes in Maryland in 2022 alone. These accidents resulted in more than 500 fatalities and thousands of injuries. The number of collisions has been steadily increasing over the years, highlighting the urgency for improved road safety measures.
Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in Maryland. In fact, alcohol-related crashes accounted for nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities in 2022. Distracted driving also plays a significant role, with drivers using their smartphones or engaging in other activities behind the wheel.
Another contributing factor to car accidents is speeding. Exceeding posted speed limits not only reduces reaction time but also increases the severity of injuries sustained during an accident.
