Frequently Asked Questions
Why do chain-reaction crashes happen at intersections like this one?
Multi-vehicle wrecks at intersections usually start when one driver fails to stop, yield or judge the gap in cross traffic, setting off a chain of impacts before other drivers can react.
How can drivers avoid getting caught in a multi-vehicle crash?
Leaving extra following distance, slowing down at intersections with cross traffic, and staying alert for vehicles that may not be stopping in time can help drivers react sooner.
