What Can Happen in Multi-Vehicle Highway Collisions?
Multi-vehicle collisions can involve several points of contact and may affect people in more than one vehicle. The severity of injuries can vary based on vehicle speed, direction of travel, seat belt use, and where each vehicle is struck.
Highway traffic can also create additional risks after a collision. Vehicles approaching a disabled car may have limited time to slow or change lanes, especially during periods of heavy traffic or poor visibility.
Drivers should reduce speed when approaching stopped traffic and leave enough space to react to sudden changes. Using hazard lights when appropriate can also alert other motorists to a disabled vehicle. Staying attentive and avoiding distractions can help reduce the likelihood of secondary collisions.
