Distracted Driving Crashes in Kansas
Distracted driving is one of the riskiest things you can do when operating a vehicle.

The fact that distracted drivers were involved in almost 17 percent of all auto accidents in Kansas in 2022 indicates that the problem of distracted driving has gotten worse in recent years.
