Highest Ranking Types of Iowa Car Accidents

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has provided the most recent Iowa accident statistics from the year 2009. It has been documented that Iowa ended the year of 2009 with 372 fatal car accidents. 

Most Common Types of Fatal Iowa Car Accidents 

Below you will find the highest-ranking types of Iowa car accidents listed from most frequent to least frequent with their corresponding number of fatal accidents: 

  • single vehicle - 197;
  • roadway departure - 193;
  • rollover - 128;
  • BAC level of .01+ - 120;
  • intersection - 96;
  • BAC level of .08+ - 96;
  • involving large trucks - 66;
  • speeding - 62; and
  • motorcycles - 49. 

You may consider these to be low numbers for Iowa car accident statistics but the outcome of people hurt is much greater than the number of accidents. Remember, if an Iowa car accident involves more than one car, it's documented as one car accident regardless of the number of victims involved. Additionally, some of these accidents fall under more than one category. Therefore, one accident could be categorized under single vehicle and speeding.
