What Can Cause Multi-Vehicle Crashes on Highways?
Multi-vehicle crashes can occur when traffic suddenly slows or when a driver loses control. Following too closely, distracted driving, speeding, and poor roadway conditions can reduce the time drivers have to react.
Highway traffic can increase the likelihood of secondary collisions after an initial impact. Leaving enough space between vehicles, watching traffic several cars ahead, and adjusting speed can give drivers more time to respond to sudden changes.
