Fatal Auto Accidents in California
Every day, there are tragic accidents on California’s roads that lead to the loss of more than 4,400 lives each year in the state. These incidents show the sad truth of too many unnecessary tragedies happening on our highways. Often, these deadly accidents come from a mix of risky behaviors.
One significant reason behind these terrible events is distracted driving. When drivers take their focus away from texting or making calls while driving, the chances of a fatal crash go up by a lot. Speeding also plays a big role; it makes it harder for drivers to react quickly to sudden obstacles and makes any crash more impactful, possibly causing more severe injuries or deaths. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is very risky, greatly increasing the chance of causing a fatal accident. Additionally, we see many accidents caused by reckless driving, such as unsafe lane changes, tailgating, and other careless actions.
