Interstate Collisions in Florida
Crashes on Florida’s interstate highways, including I-75, often lead to significant disruption and risk of injury, especially when they occur at interchanges or exit ramps. Today’s collision near MM301 in Brooksville underscores the vulnerability of exit ramp areas, where merging traffic, sudden deceleration, and lane confusion frequently lead to accidents.
Exit ramps like the one affected in this morning’s crash are particularly hazardous due to the abrupt transition between high-speed travel and slower local traffic.
