Not sure of the stats regarding rv accidents, but last week I learned some eye-opening stats for Arizona roads. For the year reported:
- 40,000 fatalities
- 2.3-million debilitating injuries
Top causes:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving (cell phone use, gps, grooming, eating, etc.)
- Alcohol and/drugs
Everyone, please be safe out there!
Those are national statistics, not Arizona statistics. The population of Arizona is around 6.7 million. One third of the population does not suffer a debilitating injury from traffic accidents each year.
I do heartily agree with the admonition to be safe out there.
