High-Speed Collisions in Oklahoma

People in Oklahoma often speed on the roads. You can get hurt by a driver who is going too fast, and the resulting injuries will probably be worse than a low-speed collision. The force of impact will be much greater, and safety systems on a car often don't work as they should. A total of 147 people died in crashes in Oklahoma that were caused by speeding motorists in a recent year, according to findings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

There are more than six million auto accidents reported each year in the United States. These collisions end in more than 40,000 deaths and three million injuries on average. The leading causes of serious crashes in Oklahoma include intoxication, speeding, and distraction, and you never really know if or when you will be involved in a serious crash.

This is a concerning trend that is getting worse every year. No, this is not just a problem in Oklahoma. It's a problem all over the country. Every year, drivers who go over the speed limit or go too fast for the conditions of the road kill more than 10,000 people. About a third of all car deaths involve high-speed impacts every year.
