What Can Cause Injuries in Roadway Crashes?
Traffic crashes can result in injuries even when vehicles are traveling at moderate speeds. The severity of harm can depend on vehicle speed, the direction of travel, the point of contact, and whether occupants were wearing seat belts.
Driver distraction, following too closely, unsafe turns, sudden lane changes, and failure to yield can contribute to roadway collisions. Weather, pavement conditions, visibility, and traffic congestion may also affect how quickly drivers can react.
After a collision, vehicle damage and roadway evidence can help show how the vehicles moved before contact. Photographs, tire marks, traffic signals, lane markings, nearby video, and witness accounts may provide additional information about what occurred.
