Fatal Auto Accidents in Pennsylvania
According to data collected from Pennsylvania roadways over the last year, rear-end crashes are the second most prevalent car accident. Thousands of these crashes each year involving several vehicles are reported in Pennsylvania, so drivers must exercise extra caution. Unsafe driving is a common contributor to accidents. In the state of Pennsylvania, the most common reason for rear-end collisions, for instance, is when drivers text or drive or engage in distracted driving.
