New claims data from Allstate Insurance Company of Canada (Allstate Canada) found the three most common types of road collisions are rear-end accidents, lane change incidents, and single vehicle crashes.

The winter months of January, followed by December and February, saw the highest number of collisions.

The information is based on an internal analysis of data collected from October 2023 to September 2025.

As winter driving conditions set in, Allstate Canada is urging drivers to prepare and adjust their driving habits to stay safe on the road this year.

“Rear-end crashes can stem from following too closely, busy urban traffic, sudden slowdowns, poor weather conditions, and more. With the colder months ahead, drivers should be aware of the risks of slippery roads and maintain more space around their vehicle to safely brake,” said George Ljubicic, agency manager at Allstate Canada. “Our data doesn’t just highlight the risks; it helps remind Canadians that prevention matters. Simple habits like installing winter tires, slowing down, and planning extra time for travel may help reduce the chances of a collision. At Allstate, we see first-hand the impact of preparation and awareness, and we’re committed to helping drivers stay safe every season.”
