The Amount of Car Accidents in Charleston County is Among the State’s Highest

Charleston County holds the dubious honor of ranking second in the state of South Carolina for the highest number of traffic collisions. With 338,652 registered motor vehicles in the county in 2017, it is understandable how so many collisions can and do occur. In fact, the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (DPS) theorizes that the county’s large body of car accidents results from its hefty populations and large amounts of travel activity.

Of these collisions, 4,391 produced injuries to 6,418 Charleston County residents. DPS also reported that there were 66 fatal collisions in Charleston County, which is the second-highest amount of fatal collisions in the state during that year.
