Part of a Larger, Undercounted National Problem
Vehicle-into-building crashes are far more common nationally than official statistics suggest. The Storefront Safety Council estimates such collisions cause up to 2,600 fatalities and 16,000 injuries across the United States every year, as reported by ASIS International / Security Management, with roughly 100 vehicles striking structures daily, as noted by Storefront Safety Council. Yet the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recorded just 210 vehicle-into-building collisions nationwide in 2020, a gap whose cause is not established here.
