Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving considered such a serious risk on highways?
Even a few seconds of taking eyes off the road at highway speed can cover the distance of several car lengths, leaving little time to react to sudden slowdowns or lane changes.
How can weather or road surface conditions affect a crash like this?
Wet pavement, debris, or poor visibility can reduce traction and reaction time, making it harder for drivers to merge or slow down safely near interchanges.
What should someone do immediately after being in a two-vehicle crash?
Drivers should move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information while waiting for law enforcement to arrive and document the scene.
Where do most highway collisions tend to happen?
Interchanges and merge points, like where SR-91 meets I-710, see frequent collisions because of lane changes, merging traffic, and speed differences between vehicles.
