The Impact of Rush Hour Collisions in Houston
Houston’s North Freeway (I-45) is one of the busiest highways in the region, particularly during morning rush hour. Heavy traffic combined with frequent lane changes and varying speeds can make crashes more likely, especially at on-ramps, exits, and merging points.
One of the leading causes of two-car crashes in high-traffic areas is driver inattention. Commuters often find themselves navigating congestion, responding to sudden stops, or dealing with distractions such as mobile phone use or adjusting in-car settings. Even a momentary lapse in focus can lead to rear-end collisions, side-swipes, or multi-lane crashes.
Injuries from freeway accidents can range from minor whiplash to more severe trauma, particularly when high speeds are involved. Victims may experience delayed symptoms, making medical evaluation essential following a crash. Additionally, dealing with insurance claims and potential legal issues can be overwhelming, particularly for those recovering from injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, seeking professional guidance can help ensure fair treatment and support during the recovery process.
