What Can Affect Injuries in Interstate Crashes?
Crashes on interstate highways can produce different levels of injury depending on vehicle speed, the direction of impact, and the type of vehicles involved. Traffic volume can also affect the risk of additional collisions after an initial crash.
Seat belts protect by helping keep occupants in place during a collision. Airbags and other vehicle safety systems can provide additional protection during an impact. Proper restraint use can reduce the chance of serious harm.
Roadway conditions may also affect the outcome of a highway accident. Weather, visibility, traffic flow, and pavement conditions can influence how quickly drivers react and stop. These factors can make interstate crashes more complicated than collisions at lower speeds.
