The City of Midland Police Department released it's 2013 analysis for crashes and you might be surprised to see the number one reason.

We all know we have our share of bad drivers and as it turns out, it's tempers and being in a hurry that are causing most of the accidents, followed closely by 'driver inattention', or as it's more commonly known: Texting while driving.
