It’s crash, not accident. Driver behavior is the leading factor in 83% of the crashes that occur annually in Pennsylvania. These behaviors include driving distracted, impaired, or aggressive. These behaviors are choices. Drivers don’t intend to cause a crash, but their choices kill innocent victims every day. Choose to do the right thing because your choices are no accident.

For more information on reportable crash data, visit PennDOT’s Pennsylvania Crash Information Tool website, crashinfo.penndot.pa.gov. All crash download spreadsheets and the “Custom Query Tool” are updated with 2024 data. The 2024 “Facts Book” and “Public Crash Databases” will be available by June 1.
