Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes crashes like this one?
Intersection crashes are commonly tied to one driver failing to yield the right of way, running a signal or stop sign, or misjudging the gap in oncoming traffic. The specific cause here has not been confirmed.
Why does speed make a difference in intersection collisions?
Higher speed gives drivers less time to react and increases the force of impact, which tends to raise the chance of injury even in a crash that might otherwise be minor.
How much does distracted driving contribute to these crashes?
A driver looking at a phone or otherwise not watching the road for even a few seconds can miss a light change or a vehicle entering the intersection, which is a frequent factor in intersection crashes generally.
Does weather or road condition play a role in crashes like this?
Wet pavement, glare or poor visibility can affect stopping distance and a driver's ability to see cross traffic, though there is no indication weather was a factor in this incident.
