Mississippi Traffic Accidents
Mississippi sees hundreds of thousands of auto collisions each and every year. Of these wrecks, tens of thousands of people are hurt and hundreds end up losing their lives. Averagely speaking, over 600 people are killed annually in car wrecks throughout the state of Mississippi. Across the United States, auto accidents have become the leading cause of serious injuries and death. Unfortunately, the majority of reported car wrecks in the US are preventable and caused by driver negligence.
In the past decade or so, negligent driving has become a serious public health concern in the state of Mississippi and throughout the country. Things like driver distraction, intoxication, fatigue, and speeding cause more auto accidents than bad weather and vehicle problems combined. For example, over 400,000 car crashes happen every year because of distracted driving. Additionally, more than 100,000 car wrecks happen due to the actions of fatigued drivers.
