What Can Make Highway Crashes More Dangerous?
Crashes on major highways can cause serious injuries because vehicles may be traveling at higher speeds. The force of an impact can increase as vehicle speed rises, particularly when a collision involves multiple vehicles.
Road closures can also create additional traffic challenges. When lanes are blocked, vehicles may need to merge or take alternate routes, which can lead to slower traffic and sudden speed changes.
Emergency response at a major crash may include medical crews, traffic control, and specialized equipment. A medical helicopter may be used when a seriously injured person needs rapid transportation to a hospital. The severity of injuries can depend on the point of impact, vehicle speeds, occupant protection, and other crash factors.
