Multi-Vehicle Accidents in New York
Three-car collisions, like Sunday morning’s crash on the Major Deegan Expressway, often result from sudden braking, lane changes, or congestion-related chain reactions. On busy expressways in the Bronx, high traffic volumes and varying speeds can make it difficult for drivers to react in time to avoid secondary impacts.
In New York, multi-vehicle crashes frequently occur near exit ramps and merge points, where traffic patterns shift quickly. Maintaining a safe following distance, scanning the roadway ahead, and adjusting speed to current conditions are key to reducing the likelihood of such accidents.
Local Accident Reports urges anyone hurt in a multi-vehicle crash to seek prompt medical evaluation, as some injuries may not present symptoms immediately.
