Story Behind the Curve
Motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of death in the US with almost 100 people dying every day. Medical care costs and productivity losses with injuries and deaths from motor vehicle crashes exceeded $75 billion in 2017. Deaths from motor vehicle crashes may be the result of poorly designed roadways, impaired drivers, and/or unsafe weather conditions. Distracted drivers cause about 9% of traffic fatalities.
