Frequently Asked Questions
How do weather and road conditions affect crash risk?
Wet, icy, or poorly lit roads reduce traction and visibility, giving drivers less time to react and making routine maneuvers like lane changes or braking more likely to end in a collision.
What should someone do right after a car accident?
Drivers should move to a safe spot if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information with other involved parties while waiting for police or EMS to arrive.
Where do most highway crashes tend to happen?
Interchanges, merge points, and lane-ending areas, like those near exits and connector roads, see a higher share of crashes because of sudden speed changes and converging traffic.
