Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving a major factor in crashes?
Even a few seconds of taking your eyes off the road at an intersection can prevent a driver from reacting in time to cross traffic or a vehicle turning nearby.
How do road and weather conditions play into intersection crashes?
Poor visibility, glare, wet pavement or obstructed sightlines at intersections can make it harder for drivers to judge gaps in traffic or stop in time, increasing the chance of a collision.
What should someone do immediately after a car accident?
Try to move to a safe location if possible, call 911 to report injuries and request help, avoid admitting fault at the scene, and exchange information with the other driver while waiting for law enforcement to arrive.
Where do most traffic collisions like this happen?
Intersections are common crash sites because they involve vehicles crossing, turning or stopping in close proximity, which raises the chance of a misjudged gap or a missed signal.
