Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving dangerous?
Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds at highway speeds can mean traveling the length of a football field without looking, leaving no time to react to a stopped vehicle, an animal, or another driver crossing into your lane.
How do road conditions or hazards contribute to crashes like this one?
Rural intersections, poor visibility, and unexpected hazards in the roadway can force drivers to swerve suddenly, sometimes sending vehicles off the pavement entirely, as may have happened in this case.
Where do most traffic accidents happen?
Many crashes occur at intersections or where two roadways meet, usually due to turning movements, stop sign or signal violations, or drivers misjudging the speed of oncoming traffic.
