Cell Phones are Major Distractions

One major car accident injury causing distraction from above is misuse of cell phones.

It has also been estimated that 6 percent of automobile accidents per year are caused by drivers talking on their cell phone. This means that a total of 2,600 people will die in cell-phone related car accidents this year.
