Kentucky Car Crashes

Each year, Kentucky reports hundreds of thousands of auto collisions—many of which are the direct result of driver negligence. Across the United States, over 90% of traffic accidents are caused by human error. From speeding and driving under the influence to texting behind the wheel or falling asleep while driving, these reckless actions put countless lives at risk every day.

In recent years, distracted driving has become an especially alarming issue. The widespread use of smartphones has led to an increase in crashes caused by drivers focusing more on their screens than on the road. This growing trend has contributed to the deaths of more than 3,000 people annually in the U.S.—lives tragically cut short by preventable decisions.
