What Factors Can Make Multi-Vehicle Crashes More Dangerous?
Multi-vehicle crashes can produce several points of contact within seconds. A vehicle struck in one direction may be pushed into another car, creating additional hazards for drivers and passengers.
People inside a vehicle can also become trapped when doors, frames, or other parts are damaged. Seat belts help keep occupants properly positioned and can reduce the chance of being thrown from the vehicle.
After a major roadway crash, traffic may slow or stop as vehicles are removed and damaged areas are cleared. Drivers approaching congestion should reduce speed, leave extra following distance, and remain alert for sudden changes in traffic.
