An estimated 6 million Americans are involved in car accidents every year. Of these, 3 million are injured and 2 million experience permanent injuries. It is also estimated that 90 people die each day due to auto accidents.

There are a number of factors that cause such accidents. However, a majority of them are due to alcohol, speeding, and distracted driving.

Causes of St. Louis Car Accidents

Drunk driving is the cause of numerous car and truck accidents on Missouri and Illinois highways. In fact, approximately 40% of all driving fatalities are caused by drunk driving.

Another cause of car accidents is speeding. While it may be obvious to you that the faster a car is moving the less time there is to react, many other drivers choose to ignore this fact. This coupled with the increased force a speeding car creates, results in injuries that are more severe than in other types of auto accidents.

Distracted drivers can cause catastrophic and sometimes fatal injuries to others on the road. An estimated 9 people are killed every day due to distracted drivingTexting while driving is a type of distracted driving that has become a serious problem in recent years. When a person is texting they take their eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds. If that same person is traveling at 55 mph, that is the equivalent of driving the length of a football field without looking up.

In addition to these 3 causes, some other causes of car accidents include:

  • Following too close
  • Weather-related accidents
  • Running a stop sign
  • Running a stop light
  • Improper left turn
