What Can Happen When a Driver Swerves to Avoid a Road Hazard?
Drivers may lose control when they make sudden steering movements to avoid another vehicle, debris, disabled cars, or other hazards. A quick maneuver can cause a vehicle to spin, leave its lane, or strike a barrier. Road speed, traffic conditions, tire condition, visibility, and the available space to maneuver can affect the outcome.
Physical evidence can help show how a vehicle moved before and after a collision. Tire marks, vehicle damage, barrier damage, and the final resting positions of the vehicles may provide useful information. Witness accounts and available roadway video can also help establish what happened immediately before the crash.
