Car Accidents in Wisconsin
Single-vehicle crashes like Sunday’s incident on I-94 are often caused by factors such as driver distraction, fatigue, speeding, or sudden evasive maneuvers to avoid hazards. On high-speed corridors like I-94, leaving the roadway can result in significant injuries, especially if the vehicle strikes a ditch, embankment, or fixed object.
In Wisconsin, long interstate stretches can contribute to driver fatigue, particularly during extended travel. Maintaining focus, obeying posted speed limits, and taking breaks on long drives are key to preventing such accidents. When conditions such as rain, wind, or glare are present, drivers are advised to reduce speed and increase following distance to maintain control.
