3 popular pick-up trucks are among the 5 vehicles that cause the most fatal crashes in the United States.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ford F-Series pickup was involved in over 10,000 crashes over the past 5 years, making the top-selling pickup the most dangerous vehicle in America, according to a new report from ValuePenguin.com by LendingTree. The study identified the 25 cars, trucks and SUVs that are most likely to be in fatal crashes. Here are the key findings from the analysis:

The Ford F-Series was the most likely to be involved in fatal crashes: The Ford F-150 was involved in 10,845 fatal crashes over the past five years. Rounding up the five most dangerous behind the Ford F-150 are the Chevrolet Silverado (7,718 fatal crashes), Honda Accord (5,079 fatal crashes), Toyota Camry (4,734), and Ram Pickup Trucks (5,897 fatal crashes).
The Ford Mustang does the worst job of protecting its occupants - 0.71 Mustang occupants are killed per fatal crash. Other cars where occupants did not fare well in fatal crashes include the Ford Taurus (0.7 occupants killed), the Honda Civic (0.7 occupants killed), the Ford Ranger (0.68 occupants killed) and the Ford Ranger (0.68 occupants killed).
While the deadliest individual models were pickups and SUVs, passenger cars are still involved in more crashes than any other type of passenger vehicle. A total of 100,388 passenger cars were involved in fatal crashes over the past five years. Pickups and SUVs are involved in 42,774, and 41,207, fatal crashes respectively. Minivans were in just 11,006 fatal crashes.
Motorcycles account for 10% of fatal crashes, despite making up only 3% of registered vehicles. Additionally, the number of motorcycle occupants killed per crash is a staggering 0.98. This means that if a motorcyclist is involved in a fatal crash, the motorcyclist or their passenger is killed nearly every time.
Cars between 10 and 15 years old are involved in the most fatal crashes, while newer models were involved in fewer crashes. A large part of this comes down to car manufacturers continually improving safety features like collision avoidance technology.

ValuePenguin.com analysts collected data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and car manufacturers to determine which vehicles are most often involved in fatal crashes. To view the full report, visit: https://www.valuepenguin.com/top-deadliest-vehicles
