Mississippi Car Crashes
Each year, millions of car wrecks happen throughout the United States. These wrecks are behind over 40,000 fatalities per year and around 3 million serious injuries. In the state of Mississippi alone, about 60,000 car crashes happen per year that injure tens of thousands and take the lives of hundreds annually. Traffic collisions happen for several different reasons, including bad weather, car problems, and driver negligence. However, negligent driving is the main culprit behind most of the auto collisions that occur in the United States today. Those who choose to operate their vehicles while intoxicated, distracted, traveling at unsafe speeds, or overtired place their own lives and the lives of those around them at severe risk.
Driver negligence causes more deaths than gun violence in the United States each year. Over 92% of reported auto accidents are caused by negligent driving. When we do the math, this is equal to over 35,000 deaths per year. Each day, over 100 people are killed in car crashes in the United States, which means negligent driving takes over 90 lives per day across the nation. If drivers were more alert, aware, and mindful while behind the wheel, they could save thousands of lives yearly.
