Among 120,809 fatal accidents from 2011 to 2014 in the US, 28% were intersection crashes. Teen and older drivers (55+ years of age) were over-involved in fatal intersection crashes. Fatal intersection crash risk for female and male drivers almost doubles by age 85, compared to 20–24 years old. Factors associated with fatal intersection crashes are time and day of week, lighting, and weather conditions. Roadway type, number of lanes, speed limit, and visible traffic controls are important factors related to intersection crashes of younger and older drivers.
