One person was injured after being rear ended in Rancho Mirage Wednesday afternoon. The collision occurred around 1 p.m. on eastbound Ramon Road near Bob Hope Drive.

What Causes Rear-End Collisions?

Distracted driving is the No. 1 cause of rear-end collisions, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In fact, some form of driver distraction contributes to 87% of rear-end crashes. Speeding and tailgating are also leading factors in rear-end collisions

“Distracted driving continues to be a menace on our roads. We hope to see more companies like Surpass and Katasi stepping up to combat this issue,” said Attorney Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group.
