During 2004 California had over half a million auto accidents. An auto accident is reported every minute.
The most common type of accidents are rear-end accidents. The second most common type of accidents are broadsides, followed by sideswipes, hitting an object, head-ons, hitting pedestrians, and finally vehicles overturning.
Not surprisingly, auto and car accidents cause the most fatalities and injuries, followed by pickup truck accidents, bicycle accidents, followed by motorcycle accidents.

The primary collision factor in all auto, car, truck and motorcycle accidents combined over the past five years has been unsafe speed.
