Understanding the common contributing factors behind accidents can help prevent future incidents:

- Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, lack of proper signage, and narrow rural roads can create hazards for motorists.
- Weather-Related Factors: Rain, fog, or icy roads significantly impact visibility and vehicle handling.
