High-Speed Collisions in West Virginia
West Virginia drivers have a reputation for operating cars recklessly. According to statistical data, driving under the influence, driving while distracted, and speeding are the main reasons for severe collisions in the state. Speeding is particularly prevalent on the state’s roadways. Every year, over 10,000 people nationwide lose their lives in high-speed collisions, and speeding drivers kill about 33 individuals every day. Speeding increases the stopping distance and significantly degrades a driver’s ability to control their vehicle, two factors that can lead to many fatal crashes in the Mountain State.
