Oklahoma Car Wrecks
Oklahoma sees approximately 60,000 car accidents per year. Of these accidents, around 27,000 end up causing injuries. Sadly, over 700 people end up losing their lives each year in auto collisions in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the majority of car wrecks in the Sooner State are caused by negligent driving.
Negligent driving can be displayed in many different ways. In Oklahoma, drivers who are intoxicated, distracted, fatigued, and speeding cause over half of reported car crashes. Throughout the country, car wrecks are one of the top ten reasons individuals end up with serious injuries or lose their lives.
