Oklahoma Car Wrecks
Car accidents in the United States are alarmingly common, often leading to severe injuries or even death. Each year, the nation experiences over 6 million car accidents, impacting around 3 million people and resulting in over 40,000 fatalities. In Oklahoma alone, more than 60,000 traffic collisions occur annually, causing tens of thousands of injuries and thousands of deaths.
The sheer number of these accidents is staggering – more than 17,000 happen daily in the U.S., injuring over 7,500 people and claiming more than 100 lives every day. Even more concerning is that over 94% of these crashes are due to negligent drivers, whether from intoxication, distraction, fatigue, or other reasons. Distracted driving alone leads to millions of accidents annually, causing around 400,000 collisions and resulting in about 3,000 deaths each year.
