West Virginia High-Speed Accidents
The likelihood of a serious accident increases whenever you exceed the speed limit. This is just how physics works. Almost always, there will be a lot of force behind the collision, which makes it more likely that someone will get seriously hurt or even die. In a recent year, almost 28 percent of fatal crashes, 13 percent of injury crashes, and nine percent of property damage accidents were caused by speeding drivers. More than 12,000 people died in high-speed crashes in 2022. From 2020 to 2021, the number of deaths in these types of accidents rose by almost eight percent. Last year, a total of 12,330 people died because of cars that were going too fast. From 2018 to 2021, 28.1 percent more people died in accidents that were caused by speeding.
