Why Injury Crashes on Interstates Can Affect Traffic for Hours
Interstate crashes involving injuries often require multiple tasks before normal traffic can resume. Medical care for those involved, removal of damaged vehicles, and cleanup of debris all take time, especially when several emergency resources are needed.
Busy highways such as I-95 can experience significant delays even when only one lane is blocked. Drivers approaching an active crash are encouraged to reduce speed, stay alert, and move over when it is safe to do so. These actions help protect emergency personnel working near traffic while reducing the risk of additional collisions around the original crash site.
