Understanding Injury Risk During Nighttime Highway Travel
Late-night highway traffic may be lighter, but vehicles can still be traveling at significant speeds. Reduced lighting can also make it harder for drivers to recognize stopped or slower-moving vehicles ahead.
Rear-end and angled impacts can cause sudden movement inside the vehicle, leading to neck, back, head, or other injuries even when the collision does not appear severe.
Travel speed, visibility, following distance, roadway lighting, and vehicle position can all affect injury risk. Expressway crashes at night can also be more difficult for drivers to react to because hazards may become visible with less warning.
