High-Speed Crashes in West Virginia
No one plans to be hurt in a car accident. What we do behind the wheel can affect others, and drivers who speed run a far higher risk of being involved in a crash. The increased stopping distance makes it more difficult to avoid unexpected hazards on the road. Speeding is also known to raise the risk of losing control of a motor vehicle. The force of impact can easily cause more catastrophic injuries in a high-speed collision. According to the most recent crash statistics, thousands of people are killed by speeding drivers in the United States every year, and high-speed crashes account for almost 25 percent of all fatal car accidents.
