Kansas Distracted Driving Accidents
While driving, you have to focus entirely on the road, but many drivers fail to do so. One of the main causes of vehicle collisions in the United States is distracted driving. It is not uncommon for drivers in Kansas to be preoccupied when behind the wheel. According to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), 18.1 percent of crashes in the state in 2021 were caused by distracted driving. Related crashes result in nearly 3,000 fatalities and countless serious injuries every year. Statistics show that 10 percent of the time, distracted drivers take their eyes off the road, which is more than enough to result in a crash that might change someone’s life.
