What Risks Do Hit-and-Run Crashes Pose on California Freeways Like the SR-91?
Freeway hit-and-run crashes in California carry serious risks for everyone involved, largely because of the speeds at which vehicles travel. When a driver flees after a collision on a busy corridor like the SR-91 in Corona, the remaining vehicles and people at the scene can be left in live lanes of traffic, facing danger from passing cars. This secondary exposure is one of the reasons freeway hit-and-runs are treated with particular urgency.
The SR-91 is one of the most heavily traveled freeways in Southern California, carrying a high volume of commuter and commercial traffic throughout the day. A stopped or disabled vehicle in a travel lane or shoulder on that stretch creates a hazard that can quickly lead to additional crashes. Be-on-the-lookout alerts are commonly issued in these cases to help identify the fleeing driver before they get too far from the scene.
