Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Driving is already dangerous enough, but it can be downright lethal when motorists don’t even look at the road. Distracted driving is quickly becoming one of the leading causes of life-changing auto accidents on American roads, and Oklahoma drivers have a bad habit of using their phones while driving. You can travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text message on the highway, and nearly 1.6 million car crashes each year involve a driver who is texting in the United States. Something as simple as talking with a passenger or changing the radio station can count as distracted driving and take your focus off the road.
