What Can Happen in a Three-Vehicle Highway Crash?
A crash involving three vehicles can create multiple points of impact and may result in injuries to people in more than one vehicle. The severity of injuries can depend on vehicle speeds, the direction of each impact, and whether a person was struck directly or involved in a secondary collision.
Multi-vehicle crashes can also create significant traffic problems on major highways. Damaged vehicles, debris, and emergency response activity may require lanes to be closed until the roadway is safe to reopen.
Drivers approaching a crash area should slow down and watch for sudden changes in traffic flow. Keeping a safe following distance can provide additional time to react if vehicles ahead stop or change lanes unexpectedly.
