High-speed Collisions in Kansas
Certain behaviors behind the wheel can greatly increase the risk of a sudden car crash. One such behavior is speeding. When you speed, you are more likely to lose control of your vehicle, meaning that you become an active threat to yourself and everyone else on the road. Speeding-related crashes contribute to a substantial number of deadly crashes each year across the United States, with more than 12,000 people dying due to the actions of speeding motorists in 2021 alone. An estimated 33 people died daily in high-speed impacts that year. Drivers who willfully engage in these behaviors should be held responsible in the event of a serious crash.
