Accidents on Angeles Crest Highway
Angeles Crest Highway is well-known for its scenic views and steep, winding terrain, but it also carries a heightened risk of collisions—particularly after dark. The route attracts both commuters and recreational drivers, and its sharp turns, changing elevations, and occasional wildlife crossings make it a challenging road to navigate safely.
Accidents in remote areas like this often require extended emergency response times, which can make injuries more serious if victims are not located quickly. Common contributing factors include excessive speed, driver inattention, and unfamiliarity with mountain driving conditions.
If you are involved in a crash on a mountain highway, it’s critical to stay in a safe location, make contact with emergency services as soon as possible, and provide detailed location information to help responders find you quickly.
