What Can Happen When Vehicles Overlap in a Crash?
Routes like Interstate 295 often carry steady traffic, which can lead to sudden collisions when vehicles slow or stop unexpectedly. In some crashes, one vehicle may ride up onto another due to the angle of impact or differences in height between vehicles.
These types of crashes can increase the risk of injury because of the added force and unusual positioning of the vehicles. Occupants may face additional hazards depending on how the vehicles come to rest.
Traffic flow and following distance play a role in these incidents. Keeping space between vehicles and staying alert to changing conditions can help reduce the chance of severe collisions.
