Distracted Driving Crashes in Kansas
Distracted driving is playing a bigger role in fatal car accidents. You could drive the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message on the highway, more than enough time to cause a life-changing collision. Over 3,200 Americans died and nearly 400,000 were seriously hurt because they were driving while distracted in a single year. Texting, talking to a passenger, and fiddling with the GPS are all common examples of distracted driving, and when you look away from the road, you’re much more likely to get into a life-changing car crash.
