Accidents are one of the leading causes of fatalities in California and the United States. Despite the laws made by states to protect road users, and reduce the rate of crashes, an accident is recorded daily.
Authorities have listed several factors lying at the feet of drivers as the causes of accidents. Some of the factors include distracted driving, over speeding, road rage, impaired driving, and adverse weather conditions.
Accident reports have shown that sometimes, those factors do not contribute to an accident. An underlying medical condition can cause a driver to crash his or her vehicle. Authorities have advised motorists to exercise extreme caution while on the road and drive carefully.
