West Virginia Distracted Driving Crashes
Driver distraction is a major issue on West Virginia roads. A rising number of serious car accidents happen due to drivers who fail to pay attention to the road. Statistics show that cell phone use is one of the most common examples of this reckless behavior. Statistics reveal that distracted drivers cause almost 26 percent of all car accidents in West Virginia each year, on average. Other common examples cited in crashes across the state include eating, drinking, or smoking. In the time it takes to send a single text, drivers have been known to travel the distance of a complete football field at highway speeds.
