Traffic Accidents in California
California’s major highways, including I-5, see frequent traffic collisions due to high traffic volumes, varying weather conditions, and driver-related factors like distractions or speeding. Multi-vehicle accidents are particularly complex and often result in serious injuries due to the chain-reaction nature of these crashes.
