What the record shows
The Embraer 175 is the most widely flown regional jet on United States domestic routes and has recorded no fatal accidents and no hull losses since entering service in 2005. One person has died in an E175 accident: a ramp worker at Montgomery, Alabama in December 2022 who walked into a running engine, which the NTSB attributed to the worker's impairment rather than to the aircraft. It is the only first generation E-Jet still in production, with roughly 865 delivered.
