List of traffic collisions (2000–present)

This list of traffic collisions records serious road crashes: those that have a large death toll, occurred in unusual circumstances, or have some other historical significance, which are notable and have their own Wikipedia article.

This list records crashes from the year 2000. For earlier crashes see List of traffic collisions (before 2000).
