Drowsy driving is a growing problem across the country. According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, 60 percent of drivers have admitted to driving while drowsy within the past year. That number is troubling when people examine the number of fatigued driving accidents lead to serious injury or death.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 100,000 crashes each year can be attributed to drowsy driving. Those wrecks are responsible for roughly 71,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths. With such a high percentage of injuries for each accident, many people may naturally wonder who’s at risk and what’s being done about it?
