What Should Drivers Know About Highway Crashes?
Crashes on major highways can quickly create traffic delays, particularly when emergency crews need access to the roadway. Drivers approaching an accident scene should reduce their speed and remain alert for emergency vehicles and changing traffic patterns.
Even when a crash does not completely close a highway, emergency vehicles and damaged vehicles can restrict available lanes. This can create sudden slowdowns and increase the risk of secondary collisions.
Drivers should follow directions from emergency personnel, maintain a safe following distance, and avoid distractions while passing an accident scene.
