Its report, which looked at data for the 50 largest cities in the US, considered three key metrics: motor-vehicle accident fatality rates, the average years between collisions for drivers, and the likelihood of a crash compared to the national average.

While the highest-risk cities for collisions are spread across the US, they include ones with limited public transportation systems, such as Los Angeles and Atlanta.
