What Can Cause Injuries in Interstate Crashes?
Interstate crashes can produce serious injuries because vehicles often travel at higher speeds and traffic can be heavy. Sudden lane changes, following too closely, distracted driving, speeding, and poor visibility can increase the likelihood of a collision.
Drivers should maintain a safe following distance and scan traffic several vehicles ahead. This gives motorists more time to react when traffic slows or stops. Staying within posted speed limits also helps reduce the force involved when vehicles strike one another.
Lane closures can create additional hazards because drivers may need to merge quickly. Motorists approaching congestion should slow down gradually and watch for changing traffic patterns. Keeping emergency lanes clear also allows response vehicles to reach people who may need assistance.
