Tuesday morning’s crash on US 231 in Wetumpka serves as a reminder of the hazards faced by drivers on major highways, especially during nighttime hours. Accidents occurring late at night or in the early morning can be particularly dangerous due to reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and the potential for impaired or distracted driving.
