Car Accidents in California

California sees thousands of car accidents every year, with many resulting in injuries and fatalities. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), a significant number of crashes occur at busy intersections like the one in Lancaster. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield often contribute to these incidents.

Some common reasons vehicle accidents happen include:

• Reckless Driving – Speeding, tailgating, and erratic lane changes put everyone on the road at risk.
• Distracted Driving – Using a phone, eating, or adjusting in-car controls can lead to dangerous moments of inattention.
• Failure to Yield – Many crashes happen when drivers ignore right-of-way rules at intersections and stop signs.
• Drunk Driving – Impaired drivers have slower reaction times and impaired judgment, increasing the likelihood of collisions.
