Throughout the country, over 6 million car crashes happen per year that injure around 3 million people and take the lives of more than 40,000 people per year. Sadly, more than 40,000 people are killed annually in traffic collisions in the United States.
Car accidents happen for numerous reasons in the US. At this time, the most common include fatigue, speeding, distraction, and intoxication.
