Car Accidents in California
Approximately 50% of motor vehicle accidents reported statewide occur at busy intersections. In many instances, these accidents involve reckless and negligent drivers. There are many factors that can lead to crashes taking place at intersections. Some of the most common include:
- Drivers who fail to yield: When drivers fail to yield the right-of-way to other motorists, they can crash into vehicles and cause serious accidents.
- Disregarding traffic control devices: There are thousands of accidents that take place as a result of drivers who run red lights or pass stop signs at intersections. When drivers fail to stop their vehicles in order to allow other vehicles to pass, they can crash into other vehicles and cause serious pain and suffering.
- Distracted: When drivers do not have their full and undivided attention on the road ahead, they may not be able to see other vehicles in the area. As a result, they are likely to blow through stop signs or red lights at intersections due to the fact that they did not see them.
- Speeding: When drivers are speeding, they may not be able to stop in time when approaching intersections.
