What Can Make Freeway Interchange Crashes Difficult to Clear?
Interchanges bring together vehicles traveling in different directions and lanes. A crash can quickly block a connector ramp and disrupt traffic moving between freeways. Overturned vehicles can make the situation more difficult because they may occupy several lanes.
Traffic crews may need to close a connector while damaged vehicles are removed. Tow operators may also need specialized equipment to move vehicles resting on their roofs or sides. Temporary traffic breaks can help create space for emergency and tow crews.
Drivers approaching an interchange crash should slow down and watch for lane closures. Following temporary traffic controls can help prevent additional collisions. Drivers should also avoid stopping near emergency activity unless directed to do so.
