Common Causes of Car
Accidents in the Palm Coast Area
The busy roadways that travel through Palm Coast place both commuters and visitors at risk of being involved in an accident. In addition, a number of other factors can further increase your risk, including:
As a city that has seen its population nearly triple in under 15 years, Palm Coast has more drivers on the road than ever before. Tens of thousands of residents use the city’s residential streets, boulevards, state roads, and interstate highways every day. As the largest city in Flagler County, Palm Coast is frequented by visitors passing through, as well. Seated in the heart of the greater Deltona–Daytona Beach–Ormond Beach metropolitan area, many drivers pass through Palm Coast on their way to various points in Northeastern Florida.
Residents and tourists travel I-95, the interstate freeway connecting Maine to Miami. A large number of semis transporting goods through the area puts drivers at risk of being involved in trucking accidents. In fact, the number of commercial vehicle car accidents increased each year from 2016 to 2018 in Flagler County, according to the FLHSMV report. Speeding, texting, working long hours, and fatigue can result in collisions. These behaviors can have serious consequences, particularly given the amount of traffic on I-95, A1A, and other roads in our area.
Despite laws prohibiting drinking and driving, drivers all too often get behind the wheel after they have consumed alcohol. Unfortunately, local residents are not immune to this problem. In late 2017, for example, a drunk driver lost control of his car on A1A, slammed into a tree, and killed the passenger.
Using a cellphone while driving is also a common cause of car accidents. Even brief moments of inattention can result in a car crash. Distracted behaviors other drivers may engage in include adjusting controls, talking with passengers, eating, and drinking, all of which make driving more dangerous.
