West Virginia High-Speed Crashes
Statistics indicate that crashes involving distracted driving, speeding, and intoxicated driving are on the rise, and West Virginia has one of the highest rates of serious crashes in the nation. Speeding is a typical occurrence on the roads due to the dangerous driving reputation of the state’s drivers. The purpose of speed limits is to keep everyone on the road safe. Unfortunately, drivers who disregard these guidelines are more likely to trigger an accident that could change their lives. In the United States, speeding drivers are responsible for thousands of fatalities every year, and in the last two decades, almost one-third of all traffic fatalities have been linked to speeding. If you go over the speed limit in an accident, you have a higher chance of losing control of your car and suffering severe injuries.
