Injury accidents, particularly those occurring in hazardous weather conditions like snow, can escalate quickly. The crash on I-480 WB serves as a reminder of the risks drivers face during winter storms, especially on bridges where conditions can worsen more quickly. Snow and ice create slippery surfaces, which make it harder for drivers to maintain control of their vehicles, leading to collisions like this one.
For those involved in accidents, it is important to seek medical attention even if the injuries seem minor at first. Some injuries, such as whiplash or internal injuries, may not be immediately apparent but can worsen over time.
