Highway Accidents in Massachusetts
Massachusetts highways, including I-95, see frequent accidents due to high traffic volumes, inclement weather, and driver behaviors such as distracted or aggressive driving. Multi-vehicle crashes, like the one near mile marker 87.4, can be especially dangerous due to the risk of secondary collisions and pileups.
According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), thousands of crashes occur on state highways each year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities. Factors contributing to highway collisions often include tailgating, excessive speed, lane changes without signaling, and failure to adjust for road conditions.
Drivers can reduce their risk of highway accidents by maintaining safe following distances, reducing speed in congested areas, and remaining vigilant for sudden traffic slowdowns. In the event of a collision, motorists should remain inside their vehicles when safe to do so and wait for emergency responders to arrive.
As officials continue investigating Wednesday’s crash, authorities urge anyone with additional information to contact local law enforcement.
