Dangers of Overnight Highway Crashes in Pennsylvania
Crashes like the one that occurred on I-78 in the early morning hours demonstrate the heightened risks associated with late-night highway travel. Driver fatigue, low visibility, and reduced traffic enforcement during overnight hours can all increase the likelihood of serious collisions. In rural areas like Lower Saucon Township, long stretches of highway without lighting or barriers can create even greater challenges.
According to Pennsylvania traffic data, early-morning crashes often result in more severe outcomes due to delayed detection or reduced driver awareness. Victims of these incidents may face extended recovery times and significant emotional and financial stress.
