My Google-fu is failing me. I want to find the total number of car accidents (of all types, fatal, non-fatal, with injuries and without injuries) per year in the US from 1990 to today, and all I can find are annual death rates from cars.

Can anyone find a site with the above info?

Edited: Sorry, that does not have all crashes at that link. But somewhere on that site are the total crashes, I’m sure.
