What Can Make Early Morning Two-Vehicle Crashes Dangerous?
Crashes during early morning hours can present added visibility challenges for drivers. Darkness can make it harder to see other vehicles, roadway features, or hazards ahead, particularly on roads with limited lighting.
Two-vehicle collisions can produce different injury outcomes depending on the speed and direction of each vehicle. The location of the impact, vehicle size, and use of seatbelts can also affect the forces experienced by occupants.
Rural and less-developed roadways may have fewer nearby structures and traffic controls. Drivers traveling at night can reduce risk by using appropriate headlights, maintaining a safe speed, and watching for changes in roadway conditions. Staying alert can also help drivers respond to unexpected hazards.
