A car collision occurs every sixty seconds somewhere in the United States. Given the millions of cars that travel the country’s highways every day, this is unsurprising.

Traffic congestion, gridlock, and (most importantly) car accidents resulting in death or serious injury are unavoidable when so many vehicles share the same highways.

In 2017, there were 31,004 accidents in Orange County, resulting in 21,646 injuries and 188 deaths. If you keep track, there are 84 accidents per day in the county.

These tragedies are made worse by the fact that the vast majority could have been avoided.
