Car Accidents in New Jersey
Car accidents in New Jersey occur far too often, with tens of thousands of injury crashes reported annually. In 2023 alone, more than 60,000 people were injured in motor vehicle collisions statewide. Urban areas and rural intersections alike remain high-risk zones, especially during peak commuting hours. Public awareness campaigns and safety enforcement efforts are ongoing to help reduce these numbers.
This recent crash reminds us of the many factors that contribute to vehicle accidents. Here are some of the most common causes behind crashes in New Jersey:
- Driver Distraction: Texting, talking on the phone, adjusting the GPS, or even eating can cause drivers to take their eyes off the road. Even a two-second distraction is enough to result in a serious collision. It’s one of the leading causes of accidents statewide.
- Speeding: Driving above the posted limit or too fast for conditions increases both the risk of crashing and the severity of injuries. Speed reduces a driver’s ability to stop quickly and can make impacts far more dangerous for everyone involved.
- Failure to Yield: Crashes frequently occur at intersections when drivers fail to yield the right of way. These mistakes can lead to T-bone collisions, often resulting in serious injuries due to the side impact forces involved.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs slow reaction times and impair judgment. DUI-related crashes continue to take lives and cause injury in New Jersey every year, despite stricter laws and enforcement.
- Weather-Related Hazards: Rain, fog, and icy roads often lead to accidents when drivers don’t adjust their speed or following distance. Reduced visibility and slippery surfaces can quickly turn routine travel into a dangerous situation.
