Why Off-Ramp Crashes Can Be Severe
Highway off-ramps can present unique risks due to changing speeds and merging traffic. Drivers may brake suddenly or adjust lanes as they prepare to exit.
When a passenger vehicle collides with a large semi-truck, the size and weight differences can cause serious damage. Commercial trucks require longer stopping distances, especially when hauling trailers.
Investigators often review vehicle positioning, ramp design, and traffic flow. These factors may help explain how the crash occurred and why the impact was so severe.
