Distracted Driving Crashes in Kansas
While driving, you have to focus entirely on the road, yet one of the main causes of major collisions in the nation 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. On American highways, these incidents result in nearly 3,000 fatalities and countless serious injuries annually. 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.
