Vehicles crash into storefronts, commercial buildings, and pedestrian areas more than 60 times every day, with as many as 500 Americans killed and more than 4000 injured.
From 2016 thru 2017, more people in America and Europe were injured or killed in vehicle attacks on crowds than any other form of terrorist attack.
More than $150 million in liability claims have been paid out by property owners, property managers, business owners, architects and engineers in the United States in the last two years.
