Fatal Accidents in Florida
Fatal collisions happen every hour of the day in Florida. In fact, Florida is known for having a higher amount of fatal accidents than any other state in the U.S. Head-on collisions are among the most severe accidents, accounting for approximately 2% of accidents that take place on our roads. When drivers are not paying close attention to the roads around them, a driver could cross the median and collide head-on into another vehicle. Some of the main causes of these collisions include distracted driving, drunk driving, and many other related aspects.
