Last year in Florida, there were more than 400,000 reportable traffic crashes in our state. This number may seem high but it reflects the reality for Florida motorists. Florida car accidents happen each day, multiple times per day. Many car accident victims are only involved in crashes because they came into contact with a negligent driver. Speeding, distraction, and impairment are among the multitude of causes for car accidents in Florida.

We extend our thoughts and well-wishes to the victims of this accident in Marion County and we hope that the victims make a complete and speedy recovery.
