(KLZA)-- Motor vehicle accidents continue to be the leading cause of death among those between the ages of 16 and 19. The financial website WalletHub recently conducted an analysis of the best and worst states for teen drivers.
Nebraska ranks in the bottom five.
The survey shows that Nebraska ranked 42nd out of all 50 states when it comes to distracted - driving and texting while driving laws, 46th when it comes to the presence of Teen Driver's Graduated Licensing Program Laws and 38th when it comes to the quality of roads.
On average, 220 teenagers are killed in car accidents each month.
Those in the 15 to 24 year age bracket make up only 14% of the population but account for nearly one-third of all costs resulting from motor vehicle injuries.
