Car Accident in Kissimmee

Kissimmee is one of the country's most dangerous places to walk according to a report published by SmartGrowth America. Specifically, the Kissimmee, Orlando, Sanford metropolitan area ranked third on SGA's 2016 pedestrian danger index and second in number of pedestrian accident deaths from 2005 to 2014. A pedestrian car accident in Kissimmee is likely to result in more serious injuries or fatalities than other crashes because the person on foot has so little protection from the impact of a motor vehicle.

Time Magazine reported that the intersection of Route 192 and Vista Del Lago Boulevard in Kissimmee was among the most dangerous intersections in the state during 2017. Distracted driving, drunk driving and poor weather conditions are likely to contribute to car accidents in the area, and the number of Florida drivers over the age of 65 is nearly double the number of drivers between 15 and 19 years of age. This high percentage of senior drivers likely also contributes to the number of car accidents in the Kissimmee, Florida area.
