Car collisions are the leading source of injury-related hospitalizations. Nearly two million people are hurt each year in car accidents in the United States.

Regrettably, California is home to a disproportionate number of such events. Each year, automobile accidents injure more than 200 thousand Americans.

As the state’s fourth most populous county, Riverside ranks high in terms of its size. It’s one of the most dangerous places to drive in the country.

2,119 people were hurt or lost their lives in the Riverside area of California as a result of car accidents in 2017. These collisions occurred on a number of different roads, including the 91, 215, and 60 freeways, as well as city streets like Jurupa Avenue and Wells Avenue.

Major causes of these crashes include intoxicated driving, distracted driving, excessive speeding, and flagrant violation of traffic regulations.

Most of these tragedies are compounded by the fact that they were preventable. Roughly 80% of collisions on the road can be traced back to some form of distraction.
