New York High-Speed Collisions

About 10,000 people lose their lives in high-speed collisions in the United States each year, and roughly 25 percent of all road fatalities are caused by speeding. Speeding drivers are more likely to lose control of their cars and suffer catastrophic injuries in a crash.
