A motor vehicle accident or traffic accident occurs when a car strikes another, a person, a fixed or moving object, debris on the roadway, a motorcycle, a bicycle, or a tree. Any of the preceding might be a single crash or might involve two or more vehicles. The causes of collisions do not differ, and they are caused either by human-made errors or intervening circumstances.
Common causes of accidents include but are not limited to speeding, impairment of drugs or alcohol, running red lights, or distracted driving. Debris or flying objects, as well as animals suddenly appearing on the roadway, can also cause collisions. Fatigue and inadequate sleep are also contributors, and at other times, it could be an underlying medical condition or mechanical defect.
