This morning’s crash on Route 101 Westbound serves as a reminder of how quickly accidents can disrupt traffic flow and pose potential risks to drivers. Highways like Route 101, which handle heavy traffic volumes daily, are particularly vulnerable to accidents that can cause significant delays and, in some cases, serious injuries.
