Kansas Distracted Driving Crashes
Kansas roads are dangerous enough, and they are even more so when people use their phones while driving. Nearly 18.1 percent of crashes in the state in 2021 involved distracted drivers. Over 3,000 people are killed and many more are seriously hurt every year in the United States because of this careless behavior. You might not be able to pay attention to the road if you text, talk on the phone, or even mess around with the radio. Almost 10 percent of the time, a driver who is distracted will have their eyes off the road. This greatly increases the risk of a crash, but many drivers still do this every day.
