Oklahoma Car Accidents
Every year, more than 70,000 traffic collisions happen in the state of Oklahoma. Unfortunately, thousands of individuals are hurt in these wrecks while hundreds of lives are cut short. Throughout the nation, more than 6 million auto accidents are reported yearly that cause over 3 million people to sustain injuries. Worst of all, over 40,000 people end up losing their lives in annual traffic accidents in the United States. When we break these numbers down, about 7,500 people are hurt daily in car crashes in the US, with over 100 losing their lives.
The number of traffic accidents in the United States has consistently risen over the past few decades, which is a cause for concern. Several factors might cause a car crash, such as poor road conditions, car problems, and reckless driving.
Still, most auto accidents in the United States are caused by negligent drivers. According to information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 93% of US vehicle collisions result from the careless behavior of drivers. In the past ten years, distracted driving has caused over 4 million traffic accidents in the United States, with speeding, alcohol, and exhaustion coming in close second.
