Common factors contributing to highway crashes include distracted driving, reckless lane changes, drowsy driving, and poor visibility. When crashes occur at high speeds, injuries are often severe, leading to extensive medical care, rehabilitation costs, and financial strain for victims.
Drivers are encouraged to remain alert while traveling on interstates, maintain safe following distances, and avoid distractions behind the wheel. Defensive driving techniques, including checking mirrors frequently and anticipating sudden stops, can significantly reduce the risk of highway collisions.
