Arizona Car Crashes

On average, about 160,000 vehicle collisions are reported in the state annually. Over 50,000 of these crashes are caused by driver distraction, a common form of driver negligence. Driver negligence can be displayed in numerous ways, including fatigue, intoxication, distraction, and speeding.
