Frequently Asked Questions
How do weather and road conditions affect crash risk?
Darkness, fog, wet pavement, and limited visibility can all make it harder for drivers to react in time, and early-morning hours often combine more than one of these factors at once.
What should I do right after a car accident?
Move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Even if injuries seem minor, it's wise to get checked out, since some symptoms take hours to appear.
Where do most traffic crashes happen?
Intersections and highway crossings, like the one involved here, are common crash sites because of the mix of turning traffic, higher speeds, and sometimes limited lighting.
