Interstate Collisions in Pennsylvania
I-80 serves as one of Pennsylvania’s primary east–west corridors, carrying high volumes of both commercial and passenger traffic. Areas like mile marker 183.2 in Greene Township can be particularly prone to crashes due to factors such as heavy truck presence, sudden traffic slowdowns, and changing weather conditions.
PennDOT data shows that interstate crashes often result in more severe injuries compared to those on local roads, given the higher speeds involved. Common contributing factors include driver fatigue, speeding, and inattentive driving.
For victims of interstate crashes, the aftermath can involve significant medical treatment, lost wages, and emotional distress. Pennsylvania law allows those injured through another driver’s negligence to seek compensation for these damages. Promptly consulting with a legal professional can help protect a victim’s rights and ensure critical evidence is preserved.
Safety improvements—such as enhanced signage, rumble strips, and targeted enforcement in high-risk areas—can help reduce the frequency of serious collisions on major highways like I-80.
