What Should Drivers Know About Highway Crashes?
Collisions on busy highways can quickly create additional hazards when disabled or damaged vehicles remain in active lanes. Motorists should reduce their speed when approaching an incident and watch carefully for sudden lane changes. Keeping a safe following distance can give drivers more time to react to stopped traffic, debris, or vehicles that have lost control.
When a crash blocks lanes, drivers should follow temporary traffic controls and instructions from emergency personnel. Avoiding sudden maneuvers can help prevent secondary collisions. Tow operators and emergency crews often need to work directly in or near travel lanes. Giving responders plenty of room and remaining alert can help protect everyone at the scene.
