Major Freeway Crashes in New Jersey
Crashes on high-speed interstates like I-287 often lead to serious injuries and major traffic disruptions, especially during the morning rush. The collision north of Exit 21 in Bedminster Twp reflects the inherent risks of highway travel, particularly where multiple lanes converge and traffic volumes are high.
Morning commuter traffic poses unique challenges, with aggressive merging, sudden braking, and driver distraction among the most common contributing factors. When lanes are fully closed due to a crash, it not only impacts those involved but also delays emergency response and increases secondary risks for other motorists.
Events like Monday’s crash highlight the importance of defensive driving and remaining alert, particularly in areas near interchanges such as I-78. Slowing down, maintaining safe distances, and avoiding distractions are all essential for reducing the likelihood of severe incidents on New Jersey’s interstates.
