Car Accidents in California
California’s busy roadways are the site of thousands of car accidents each year. From urban streets to rural highways, collisions can happen anywhere and often result in injuries. The California Office of Traffic Safety regularly tracks and reports on these incidents to help improve safety. In many cases, the effects of these crashes stretch far beyond the scene, impacting victims’ daily lives and financial stability. In light of today’s crash, it’s helpful to understand a few common reasons that lead to collisions across the state:
- Distracted Driving: Activities like texting, adjusting the radio, or using navigation apps take attention off the road. Even a momentary lapse can result in serious consequences when driving at high speeds.
- Speeding: Driving above the posted speed limit reduces the driver’s reaction time and increases the severity of any resulting crash. It also affects a vehicle’s stopping distance.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drug impairment continue to be a major factor in injury crashes throughout California. These substances significantly affect judgment, coordination, and reaction time.
- Reckless Driving: Aggressive maneuvers such as tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and running red lights contribute to thousands of crashes every year.
- Failure to Yield: Many collisions occur at intersections due to one driver not properly yielding the right-of-way. This includes failing to give pedestrians the space they need to cross safely.
