Driving can be incredibly dangerous, even though most of us do it every single day. The open road is filled with reckless drivers, and you can be hurt at almost any time on the road. Car crashes are the main cause of death in the United States. A crash of some kind kills more than 100 people every day, and millions are hospitalized each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that in a recent year, hospital bills and lost work time cost the United States more than $75 billion. 33,654 crashes killed people nationwide that year, and 294 of them happened in West Virginia. Of those, 38 died in accidents involving motorcycles, and 52 died in accidents involving semi-trucks. This is a notable increase from the year before, showing that deadly crashes are on the rise.
