The accident at I-65 Southbound and Old Hickory Boulevard South is a clear reminder of the dangers present on high-speed highways, especially at exits where vehicles are merging, exiting, or slowing down. These areas are particularly prone to collisions due to the varying speeds of vehicles, with drivers often navigating the transition from highway speeds to slower speeds at exit ramps.
While the specific cause of the accident is still under investigation, common contributing factors on high-speed roads include distracted driving, improper lane changes, and sudden braking.
