Top Causes of San Diego Car Accidents
Sunny seaside California houses the end (or beginning) of three of the major highways that stretch across the entire United States. Due to the maze and high-profile of so many of these highways, combined with the great conditions of America's finest city, San Diego, fatal car accidents are much more likely here than in other places of the nation.
In 2004, there were 3,727 fatal car accidents in California. 1,336 of these fatalities were cars colliding with other autos, and 432 were with motorcycles. San Diego County alone accounted for 102 fatal auto accidents involving pedestrians, and a large number of the remaining car wrecks included stationary objects such as trees and light poles.
The top causes of car accidents have been listed as speeding, weather, drunk driving, fatigue, and distraction. This means that you could potentially be in a car accident if you are near:
- A motorist late for work and speeding in San Diego, CA
- A teen drunk driver in Chula Vista, CA
- A sleepy driver operating a vehicle late at night in Poway, CA
- A distracted driver talking on a cell phone in Oceanside, CA
When cars collide with other cars and create pile up accidents, they are potentially doubling the involvement from the number of parties responsible. This means that many of the deaths seen from car accidents occur to those around who were not responsible and become victims.
