Injury Car Accidents in Huntington Beach
In Huntington Beach, SUV-related injury accidents have been rising, now accounting for nearly 40% of all collisions in Orange County, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety. This increase is largely due to the growing popularity of SUVs, which are more prone to serious accidents due to their size and higher center of gravity. The city’s busy traffic areas, including roads leading to the beach, contribute to the risk of rollover accidents, while pedestrians and cyclists, especially along the beach, remain particularly vulnerable.
