Highway Accidents in Virginia
Interstate 95 is one of the busiest highways in Virginia, connecting major cities and serving as a critical route for commuters and commercial traffic. Accidents on high-speed roadways often involve multiple vehicles and can lead to serious injuries, particularly when traffic congestion is high.
Multi-vehicle crashes, like the one near Quantico, may be caused by factors such as driver inattention, sudden lane changes, or adverse road conditions. When lanes become blocked, secondary collisions can occur, further complicating the situation for emergency responders and stranded motorists.
Virginia law requires drivers to maintain safe following distances and remain alert to sudden traffic changes. Those involved in highway crashes should seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor at first. Conditions such as whiplash and internal trauma may not present symptoms immediately but can have long-term effects.
