Kentucky Car Crashes
Kentucky car wrecks occur all the time. Yearly, more than 150,000 auto accidents happen throughout the state. Tens of thousands of individuals suffer injuries in these collisions, while hundreds sadly lose their lives yearly. Throughout the country, more than 40,000 people die because of drivers who are distracted, tired, intoxicated, or traveling at unsafe speeds.

Car crashes that happen when drivers are negligent are usually more severe than others due to drivers having their reaction times reduced and their judgment impaired.
