Serious Car Accidents in California
Generally, the surrounding circumstances of a wrong-way crash, like the high speed of the vehicles involved, often make these collisions even more devastating than the average vehicle accident, even though they are rare. Wrong-way collisions account for less than one-tenth of a single percent of total highway collisions. With that said, these incidents are on the rise throughout the Golden State. Moreover, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), nearly half of wrong-way accidents occur as the result of a drunk or otherwise intoxicated motorist getting behind the wheel.
