The Danger Dates: A Breakdown of America's 10 Deadliest Days for Fatal Crashes
Fatal crash totals reflect all motor vehicle traffic fatalities recorded at the national level across all 12 months of the calendar year 2024. The top 10 deadliest days of the month account for 34.26% of all annual fatal crashes. Day 31 has been excluded from rankings as only seven months contain a 31st day, making direct comparison with other dates statistically incompatible. Average daily fatal crashes calculated by dividing each day's annual total by 12 to reflect consistent monthly occurrence.
