Car crashes can be caused by a variety of things, such as driving while distracted, speeding, reckless driving, bad weather, and a host of other things. The best strategy to reduce the number of people injured in auto accidents is to wear seat belts, but far too many are hurt and killed in car crashes across Kansas each year. Over 57,000 auto accidents were reported in the state in 2021 alone, with a total of 381 fatal wrecks claiming the lives of 424 people and injuring almost 12,000 more.
