Mississippi Car Wrecks
Yearly, more than 60,000 auto collisions take place in the state of Mississippi. Every year, tens of thousands of individuals are hurt in these wrecks while hundreds end up losing their lives. Averagely speaking, throughout the entire United States, over 5 million car crashes occur per year. Unfortunately, more than 3 million people are hurt in these collisions while over 40,000 lose their lives annually. Car wrecks have become the main reason Americans sustain serious injuries and lose their lives every year.
Regrettably, the majority of the auto accidents that occur throughout the nation and in the Magnolia State are caused by negligent driving. Especially in the past ten years, driver behaviors like drinking and driving, distraction, and speeding have become more common. These reckless and careless actions demonstrated among a large portion of American drivers contribute to the majority of the injuries and deaths reported yearly related to auto collisions across the nation.
