Rise in Single Vehicle Accidents in Kansas City has Police Concerned

What are the main causes of accidents in Kansas City?  If you ask any police officer in Kansas or Missouri and they will probably tell you the same thing: distracted and intattentive driving.  But what is distracted driving?  Cell phones, GPS devices, personal computers and other marvels of modern technology are among the biggest distractions for drivers.

Why is this important?  Well, in 2010, single vehicle accident fatalities were up in Kansas City, this according to KCPD Chief James Corwin to the Kansas City Police Department.  The KC metro area saw 68 deaths from single vehicle accidents up 3 from 2009.  The increase of "only" 3 may not seem like too big of a deal, but it is to Kansas City Police, who have used a number of tactics to try and cut down on drunk driving and aggressive driving.  Even more shocking is the overall national fatality toll is the lowest its been since 1954.
