The accident is being investigated to determine a cause.

On average, drivers in the United States travel an average of 10,658 miles each year, according to the American Driving Survey. The more time spent driving increases the risk of being involved in an auto accident. Tragically, it is estimated that there are 37,000 fatalities caused each year in traffic accidents. The vast majority of these accidents are preventable and caused by the negligence of another party. Dangerous roadways, mechanical defects, vehicle design flaws, and reckless driving are common causes of car crashes.
