What Should Drivers Know About Crashes Involving Multiple Vehicles?
Multi-vehicle crashes can occur when one vehicle loses control, and other motorists cannot stop or maneuver around it in time. The risk can increase when traffic is moving quickly or a vehicle has a mechanical issue.
A damaged tire or spare tire can affect how a vehicle handles, particularly at higher speeds. Drivers should make sure replacement tires are properly installed and follow any speed or distance limits associated with temporary spare tires.
When several vehicles become disabled on a freeway, lanes may be blocked, and traffic can slow rapidly. Drivers approaching stopped traffic should reduce speed and leave enough space to react safely.
