Chicago Accounts for 70% of all Illinois Accidents

The Chicago Area Transportation Study analyzed the most-recent data concerning traffic accidents and found that 70% of all Illinois accidents occur in Chicagoland.

The study also revealed that Chicagoland residents are more likely to be injured in automobile accidents than other Illinois residents.

The highest pedestrian fatality rates in the region were experienced in Cook County. However, when compared to other large cities, the City of Chicago was found to be a relatively safe city for pedestrians.
