West Virginia High-Speed Collisions
According to statistical statistics, the primary causes of significant collisions in West Virginia include speeding, driving while intoxicated, and distracted driving. Unfortunately, a lot of people speed on the state’s highways. Approximately 30 people are thought to be killed in high-speed crashes every day in the United States. A driver who is speeding has less control over their car and is less able to steer clear of hazards on the road. This mixture has the potential to be fatal and cause very major car accidents.
