Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of car accidents?
Distraction, following too closely, speeding and failing to yield at intersections are among the most frequent factors in crashes like this one.
How does speed affect crash severity?
Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which usually means more serious vehicle damage and injuries.
Why is distracted driving dangerous at intersections?
Even a brief distraction can cause a driver to miss a signal, a stop sign or a vehicle crossing their path, which is especially risky where two major roads meet.
