FAQ
Q: Why can injuries appear hours after a freeway crash?
A: The stress response following a collision can temporarily mask pain. Soft tissue injuries and other conditions may become noticeable later, even if they seem minor at first.
Q: Why are freeway interchanges prone to crashes?
A: Merging traffic, speed changes, and lane shifts near entrance and exit ramps can increase the risk of collisions, particularly during heavy or late-night traffic conditions.
Q: What happens during patient transport after a crash?
A: Paramedics assess vital signs, stabilize injuries, and transport patients to a hospital for further evaluation and treatment as needed.
