High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
Speeding is an incredibly dangerous habit that is common on Kansas roadways. Statistics show that an estimated 6 percent of collisions in the state involve speeding drivers. Across the country, high-speed impacts continue to play a key role in roadway fatalities, accounting for more than one-quarter of fatal crashes reported nationwide. More than 10,000 people lose their lives each year in high-speed collisions, and if a driver engages in this reckless behavior and causes a serious crash, they should be held responsible for any resulting injuries or damages.
