Motor Vehicle Accidents in Tennessee
Tennessee’s highways, including I-65, are vital transportation routes but also common locations for serious motor vehicle accidents, particularly near urban areas like Woodbine. Nighttime crashes on high-speed interstates are often caused by factors such as speeding, driver fatigue, or impaired visibility.
Statewide traffic data reveals that interstates are among the most hazardous roads, with accidents often resulting in significant injuries due to the high speeds involved. Sections near exits and mile markers, such as MM 78.0, pose added risks due to merging traffic and sudden lane changes.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a motor vehicle accident, taking immediate action is essential. Seek medical care for injuries, document the scene, and communicate with your insurance provider. Additionally, consulting with a legal professional can help ensure fair compensation and support throughout the recovery process.
