Collisions on major highways like I-87 can be particularly hazardous due to high-speed travel and heavy traffic flow. Factors such as sudden lane changes, driver inattention, and adverse road conditions often contribute to these incidents. Accidents at highway exits can be especially dangerous as vehicles merge, slow down, or attempt last-minute maneuvers.
