Deadly Vehicle Collisions in Montana
Nearly 40,000 fatal motor vehicle accidents occurred nationwide in one recent year, resulting in thousands more fatalities. Moreover, every year, there are 21.6 fatalities per 100,000 individuals in Montana. This is the fifth-highest fatality rate in the country per 100,000 people and is nearly twice the national average of 12.9 deaths per 100,000 people. Tragically, Gallatin County experienced the seventh-highest number of roadway fatalities in Montana over the last decade.
Car accidents occur in Montana’s rural and urban areas, as is the case nationwide. Nevertheless, rural areas account for roughly 75% of Montana’s fatal auto accidents, while urban areas or unreported locations account for the remainder. Unsurprisingly, intersections and highways are hotspots for serious auto accidents. And, of course, most individuals do not anticipate being killed or sustaining severe bodily injuries when they embark on a day trip to a park or the mall in their vehicles. In a matter of seconds, however, a car accident can occur, upending the lives of victims and their families.
