High-Speed Crashes in Kansas
Reckless drivers put themselves, other drivers, and everyone else on the road in danger when they choose to speed. Speeding also increases the likelihood of a serious collision for a number of reasons. This careless behavior makes driving more difficult, particularly on wet roads, while increasing the force of impact. In the United States, speeding drivers claimed the lives of almost 12,000 people in 2021 alone—more than 33 fatalities every day. Roughly 22 percent of all speed-related fatalities occur on roads covered in snow or rain. After a significant crash, it could be challenging to pursue a full recovery on your own.
