In 2017, according to Florida Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, there were 65,986 total car accidents throughout Miami and the beaches, resulting in 32,389 injuries and sadly, 285 fatalities, which means that on average 178.04 accidents occur every day, just over seven accidents per hour and nearly two accidents every 15 minutes. The total accidents are up from 64,070 auto accidents in 2016 and 63,451 in 2015.

The steady increase in the population over the last decade, up to it’s current figures of 2,761,581 in 2018,  along with record breaking overnight visitors of 16.5 Million and 6.8 Million “day trippers” , according to the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau ,  is likely a contributing factor to this increase in the total number of accidents occurring throughout Miami-Dade.
