Frequently Asked Questions
Why does distracted driving cause so many crashes?
Even a few seconds of taking your eyes or attention off the road can mean missing a stop sign, a stopped vehicle, or a change in traffic, giving a driver little time to react before a collision.
How do road conditions and visibility play into nighttime crashes?
Darkness, unlit intersections, and unfamiliar roads can make it harder for drivers to see traffic control signs or react in time, which can contribute to crashes like failing to stop at an intersection.
What should someone do immediately after witnessing or being involved in a crash?
Call 911, move to a safe location if possible, and wait for law enforcement and emergency responders to arrive before attempting to move a vehicle or assess damage.
Where do fatal single-vehicle crashes usually happen?
They frequently occur at intersections, rural roads, and areas without heavy lighting, where missed stop signs or reduced visibility can lead to high-speed impacts.
