Lytx says that 2024 saw a significant reduction in the more severe collision levels in the U.S. compared to 2023, despite a 24% increase in industry-wide collision rates.
The video telematics and fleet management platform provider’s 2025 Road Safety Report analyzed more than 300 billion miles (482.8 billion km) of driving data to reveal critical insights into road safety trends and emerging risks for commercial fleets.
Level 1 (highest severity) collisions saw a decrease of 6%, while Level 2 (moderate severity) collisions dropped by 59%, demonstrating improved driver safety through proactive coaching and technology, according to the report.
“Close calls” and near collisions increased, up 52% when comparing Q4 2024 to Q4 2023, as roads have become increasingly congested.
“Today’s fleets and drivers face rapidly changing risk environments,” Rajesh Rudraradhya, chief technology officer at Lytx, said in a news release. “To stay on top of these changes, managers need real-time data insights and advanced tools that can help them identify and address emerging risk patterns.”
