Car Wrecks in Oklahoma City
It’s truly alarming how prevalent car accidents have become in the United States, often resulting in severe injuries or even loss of life. Annually, the nation witnesses over 6 million car accidents, affecting around 3 million individuals and claiming over 40,000 lives. In Oklahoma alone, more than 60,000 traffic collisions occur each year, leading to injuries for tens of thousands and fatalities for thousands more.
The frequency of these accidents is staggering – over 17,000 times a day in the U.S., resulting in injuries to over 7,500 individuals and the loss of over 100 lives daily. What’s even more concerning is that over 94% of these crashes are caused by negligent drivers, whether due to intoxication, distraction, fatigue, or other factors. Distracted driving, in particular, leads to millions of accidents annually and claims thousands of lives each year. On average, around 400,000 auto collisions happen annually due to the actions of distracted drivers. Sadly, around 3,000 people end up losing their lives in these accidents.
