Driving Manners That Could Lead To Accidents
Accidents on Pennsylvania’s interstates, like the one on I-80 in Liberty Township, highlight the risks drivers face on major highways. High speeds, heavy traffic, and sudden changes in weather conditions can all contribute to serious collisions, especially in rural stretches of road where emergency response times may vary.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) notes that interstate crashes are often more severe due to the higher speeds involved. Common causes include distracted driving, following too closely, and fatigue during long trips.
Victims of highway accidents often face significant medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and long-term recovery needs. Drivers must practice defensive driving and adhere to speed limits to reduce the likelihood of such incidents.
