Florida Car Crashes
Florida consistently ranks among the states with the highest rates of traffic accidents, with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reporting over 380,000 crashes annually. The combination of busy highways and a large number of tourists contributes to the daily risks drivers face across the state.
Knowing the common—and often avoidable—causes of these accidents can help you stay safer on the road:
Ignoring Traffic Signals: Intersections such as SW 13th Street and SW 8th Avenue see frequent crashes caused by drivers running red lights or stop signs. These violations often result in severe T-bone collisions, putting vehicle occupants at great risk.
Reckless Driving: Speeding, tailgating, and abrupt lane changes create dangerous conditions and significantly increase the chance of a crash. Such aggressive behavior disrupts the flow of traffic and jeopardizes everyone’s safety.
Distracted Driving: Whether it’s texting, fiddling with GPS, or eating while driving, distractions behind the wheel remain a leading factor in crashes. Even a brief loss of focus can have serious consequences.
Failure to Yield: Many drivers miscalculate who has the right of way—especially when merging or turning—leading to accidents in congested areas and endangering not just motorists but also pedestrians and cyclists.
Unsafe or Illegal Turns: Poorly executed or unlawful turns often trigger collisions, especially at busy intersections where quick judgment and awareness are essential.
Driving Under the Influence: Impairment from alcohol or drugs slows reaction times and impairs judgment, making it a major contributor to fatal and serious injury crashes in Florida.
