Off-Ramp Collisions and Traffic Risks in the Bay Area
Crashes at freeway off-ramps, such as the one reported on CA-85 near Moffett Blvd, are common in the Bay Area due to the high volume of merging, decelerating, and turning vehicles. Off-ramp collisions can happen quickly and often involve sudden stops or misjudged lane changes, making them particularly dangerous during peak travel hours or in areas with limited visibility.
Injuries from these types of crashes can range from minor to severe and may include whiplash, fractures, or head trauma. Prompt medical evaluation is critical even if symptoms seem mild at first.
Mountain View and the surrounding Silicon Valley region experience frequent congestion and high traffic density, especially near major intersections and tech campuses. Ensuring safety at these access points requires cautious driving, proper signaling, and attention to speed reduction as vehicles exit high-speed freeway lanes.
