What Can Happen in a Chain-Reaction Crash?

Chain-reaction crashes involve multiple vehicles and can happen when one collision causes following drivers to strike other vehicles. Traffic speed, stopping distances, roadway conditions, and the distance between vehicles can affect how quickly a crash spreads.

Multiple-vehicle accidents can also make it harder for drivers to avoid a secondary impact. Staying alert, maintaining a safe following distance, and adjusting speed for traffic conditions can reduce the risk of being involved in a chain-reaction crash.

1Seek treatment promptly after being injured in an accident. Your first priority should always be your health. Many providers offer treatment on a lien basis, meaning you can get the care you need now and pay later when your claim is resolved.
