Injury Car Accidents in Barbour County: Causes and Solutions

Barbour County reflects Alabama’s trends in traffic accidents, with rural areas experiencing a higher rate of fatal crashes despite fewer incidents overall. In 2022, rural regions accounted for 59% of traffic fatalities, driven by factors like high speeds, limited medical access, and nighttime driving. Safety campaigns like "Click It or Ticket" promote seat belt use, as 57% of fatalities involve unrestrained occupants while addressing distracted driving, which significantly increases crash risks.
