Multi-Vehicle Crashes on California’s Coastal Highways
California’s coastal corridors like US-101 through Ventura are vital arteries for daily travel, but they also pose serious risks—especially in high-speed zones during nighttime hours. When multiple vehicles are involved in a crash, the likelihood of injury increases significantly due to sudden impacts and chain-reaction collisions.
Factors like driver fatigue, limited visibility, distracted driving, and abrupt lane changes contribute to the frequency of nighttime freeway accidents. In cases involving three or more vehicles, determining fault can be complex and often requires scene analysis, witness accounts, and traffic camera footage.
Injury victims may face more than just immediate pain. Many endure long-term effects such as chronic pain, time away from work, and mounting medical expenses. That’s why it’s essential to seek medical care promptly and secure accurate police documentation to support any future legal or insurance claims.
