FAQ

A: Adrenaline can mask pain immediately after a crash. Injuries such as strains or concussions may become noticeable later, making follow-up care important.
Q: Why are crossing collisions common on state routes?
A: State routes often have higher speeds, and vehicles crossing or turning must judge gaps in traffic, which can increase crash risk.
Q: What does it mean when a crash is under investigation?
A: An investigation involves documenting vehicle positions, statements, and roadway conditions to complete an official report of what occurred.
