WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) â A rise in accidents is mainly being attributed to one type of driving.
Thereâs been an uptick in crashes recently across Central Wisconsin and local law enforcement agencies say itâs in part due to distracted driving. Wisconsin State Patrol Sergeant Rhea Stertz tells WAOW-TV itâs best to keep distractions in the car at a minimum through a variety of ways. âItâs best to just limit all of the distractions in the vehicle. If you can keep your eyes on the road.
âThe best thing to do is look several seconds ahead of you. So you can see if cars are breaking and you have more time to react because every crash is preventable. Thatâs on the passenger who need to not distract the driver and the driver needs to limit distractions,â.
