Whether you\u2019re loading up the family for a road trip to\nthe beach or setting out solo to visit friends, summer tends to be a busier\ntravel time than any other season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When on the\nroad, accidents can happen \u2013 and they\u2019re actually more likely to happen in some\ncities than others. Before you hit the road, check out this list of cities with\nthe most collisions, so you can know before you go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>U.S. Cities\nwith the Highest Car Accident Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allstate.com\/resources\/allstate\/attachments\/best-drivers\/2019bestdriversmediashareablebestdriversreport.pdf\">Allstate\u2019s\nAmerica\u2019s Best Drivers Report<\/a> uses \u201crelative collision likelihood\u201d to\ncompare the rate of accidents in each city with the national average and ranks\neach city from best to worst. According to Allstate, these cities were the ten\nmost accident-prone in 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Baltimore, MD<\/strong> \u2013 152.5% relative collision likelihood<\/li><li><strong>Washington, D.C<\/strong>. \u2013 142.3% relative collision likelihood<\/li><li><strong>Boston, MA<\/strong> \u2013 116.5% relative collision likelihood<\/li><li><strong>Worcester, MA<\/strong> \u2013 105.6% relative collision likelihood <\/li><li><strong>Glendale, CA<\/strong> \u2013 99% relative collision likelihood <\/li><li><strong>Los Angeles, CA<\/strong> \u2013 82% relative collision likelihood <\/li><li><strong>Springfield, MA<\/strong> \u2013 81.7% relative collision likelihood<\/li><li><strong>Providence, RI<\/strong> \u2013 70.8% relative collision likelihood <\/li><li><strong>Alexandria, VA<\/strong> \u2013 69.9% relative collision likelihood<\/li><li><strong>Oakland, CA<\/strong> \u2013 67.7% relative collision likelihood <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>U.S. Cities with the Most Car Accident\nFatalities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these cities may have the greatest\nchance for accidents, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usinsuranceagents.com\/deadliest-cities-for-drivers\/\">different\nset of cities<\/a> had the most fatalities. Some of the deadliest cities for\ndrivers are Baton Rouge, LA; Savannah, GA; and Dallas, TX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Riskiest Days and Times to Drive <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When traveling, there are also specific times\nof the year \u2013 or even times of the day \u2013 when you\u2019re more likely to have an\naccident. In the United States, July 4 is the deadliest day on the roads, with\nmany other holidays close behind, such as October 31 (Halloween) and January 1\n(New Year\u2019s Day). With regard to time of day, it should come as no surprise\nthat the most dangerous time to drive tends to be 5 to 7 p.m., when rush hour\ntraffic is at its peak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These statistics or numbers might be alarming\n\u2013 but no need to panic. Simply exercise extra awareness during peak travel\ntimes or days, and of course stay alert when traveling anywhere unfamiliar or\ndriving in heavy traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>After an Accident, Find a Local\nCollision Repair Shop with Carwise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accidents happen \u2013 and with them come repairs.\nFrom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carwise.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/18\/paintless-dent-repair-what-you-need-to-know\/\">paintless\ndent repairs<\/a> to repairing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carwise.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/06\/types-of-hidden-damage-caused-by-fender-benders\/\">hidden\ndamage to a car\u2019s technology<\/a>, if you\u2019re in an accident you\u2019ll want to be\nsure your car is repaired quickly and effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, Carwise.com is here to help.
