Crashes that occur in the early morning hours, like this one at Skyview Drive and Kanawha Terrace, are often influenced by low visibility, driver fatigue, or reduced traffic awareness. Even in residential or lightly trafficked areas, sudden collisions can result in serious injuries.
Drivers traveling at night or after midnight are urged to reduce speed, stay alert, and remain cautious of cross traffic and poorly lit intersections. Additionally, defensive driving practices such as minimizing distractions and increasing following distances are key to preventing nighttime collisions.
