Car Accident

In the United States, about 102 people die every day on our roadways. That’s more than four fatalities an hour, which is a sobering thought. In South Carolina alone, someone dies every nine hours in a traffic collision. To stay safe while driving, you should be aware of the most common causes of car crashes. Those include driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, following vehicles too closely, failure to yield to oncoming traffic, disregarding traffic signals and signs, and driving recklessly when the road is slippery or iced over. Unfortunately, distracted driving is also a cause of deaths.
