What Can Happen in a Three-Vehicle Crash?
Three-vehicle crashes can develop through a series of impacts, with one collision causing another vehicle to become involved. The severity of injuries can depend on vehicle speeds, the direction of each impact, roadway conditions, and the position of the vehicles.
Crash reviews may examine vehicle damage, debris, roadway markings, traffic signals, and witness statements. Available video footage can also help establish how the vehicles were moving before the collision; these details may provide a clearer picture of the sequence of impacts and the factors that contributed to the crash.
