Are tree/car collisions more common in Kentucky?

About: Vehicle leaves KY 80 roadway strikes tree

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Does this type of accident happen more often in Kentucky than in any other state?Are there any statistics proving this?

Would the cause most likely be speed, reckless driving, drinking of alcoholic beverages, drug use or just plain careless driving?

I think we could rule out heavy traffic!

s/Charles Marshburn

A very good question. You may have a point. In the last year or two I've noticed a much higher incidence of stationery objects hitting my vehicles than used to happen. Sometimes it is my wife's van. The other day it was a wing wall on a driveway turn around. And yes, even trees have harelipped my bumpers. I know of nothing I've done to offend any of these. I'd think this anecdotal evidence of much more scientific value than statistics. You know how people lie with statistics. Anymore it seems like a social security check isn't big enough to pay the body shop, much less stay in hearing aid batteries. -EW
