New York Car Crashes
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently shared a traffic accident report concerning yearly car wrecks in the United States that showed auto collisions in the US have been increasing by around 11% per year since 2015. Annually, over 6 million car crashes happen in the US that injure around 3 million individuals and end the lives of around 40,000 people. Negligent driving is behind over 90% of these crashes, according to the NHTSA.
Negligent driving is the main contributor to auto collisions throughout the state of New York, as well. Especially in New York City, driver intoxication and distraction cause the majority of traffic accidents. When a driver is high on drugs, drunk, texting, speeding, or too tired to concentrate, they are risking their own life and the lives of everyone around them. Usually, negligent drivers are forced to spend time in jail or to pay hefty fines when they cause other people to sustain injuries or lose their lives.
As our country’s population keeps increasing, the number of serious and devastating car accidents does as well. Roadways that are over-crowded are just one of the many problems that add to the severity and number of car crashes that happen per year. Another common reason behind car wrecks in the US, distraction, causes over 400,000 accidents per year. Sadly, around 3,000 people end up losing their lives in these collisions.
