What Causes Most Car Accidents in Stonecrest?

Although motor vehicle accidents have many causes, most result from some type of driver negligence. The most common causes include:

• Impaired driving: Alcohol, certain prescription and over-the-counter meds, and illegal drugs can significantly impair a driver’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Every day in the U.S., approximately 37 people are killed in drunk driving crashes – one every 39 minutes, as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
• Distracted driving: The percentage of drivers manipulating hand-held electronic devices increased by 127% from 2012 to 2021, as stated by the National Safety Council (NSC). A total of 3,142 people died in distracted driving-related crashes in a recent year. With the use of smartphones and navigation devices, distracted driving has become a major problem on the nation’s roadways.
• Fatigued driving: Researchers in a AAA Foundation study found that an estimated 328,000 drowsy driving crashes, resulting in nearly 800 fatalities and approximately 50,000 injuries, occur every year in the U.S., as reported by NSC. Fatigued driving affects reaction time, awareness of hazards, and ability to sustain attention.
• Aggressive driving: Drivers who speed excessively, weave in and out of traffic, run red lights and stop signs, tailgate, fail to yield the right of way, and cut other drivers off are a menace to the roads. Speeding has been a factor in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities for more than two decades, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III).
• Teen driving: Teen drivers lack experience behind the wheel and are more likely to make critical errors that can lead to serious crashes. Teens are more likely than adults to drive distracted, speed, or follow too closely behind other vehicles. In 2020 in the U.S., an average of eight teens were killed, and hundreds more were injured in motor vehicle crashes every day, as stated by CDC.
