What is an accsident? What state are you driving in? This question lacks information needed to answer it.

It's never been documented. There is nothing requiring anyone to track such. However remember this rule: Automobiles are NOT MOVING PHONE BOOTHS. Dah! if you need to use the phone: STOP, MOVE TO SIDE OF ROAD and TALK YOUR HEAD OFF. When finished, put phone away, start engine, get back on road and DRIVE. Trying to talk, drive and pay attention to traffic DOES NOT WORK. Remember the last words of a dying person after an accident "...but I didn't see it coming...". Of course not they were TALKING instead of watching and driving.

If you're asking who to call if you see an accident, 911 first, it seems to work in most areas, assuming you're in the US.

If you're asking how many are caused by cell phone use, there are no clear statistics on that subject yet, but there is enough evidence in that many states have banned their use.

Each year, about 42,000 people die in U.S. auto accidents.

The number, for U.S. deaths related to drivers using cell phones, comes from a 2002 study by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis (HCRA). Researchers then estimated that the use of cell phones by drivers caused approximately 2,600 deaths.

Because data on cell phone use by motorists are limited, the range of uncertainty is wide, those researchers said. The estimate of fatalities in that HCRA report ranged between 800 and 8,000.
