How Freeway Conditions Can Increase Post-Crash Risks

Freeway crashes can leave damaged vehicles and injured occupants close to fast-moving traffic, creating additional hazards after the initial impact.

When another driver leaves the scene, responders and investigators may also have limited information about how the collision occurred or what vehicle was involved.

Traffic speed, vehicle position, roadway shoulders, visibility, and the extent of damage can all affect the emergency response. Hit-and-run crashes may also require additional investigative work while crews focus on treating injured people and securing the roadway.
