Motor Vehicle Crashes on Tennessee Interstates
Interstates like I-65 in Tennessee are frequent locations for motor vehicle crashes, particularly during early morning hours when traffic volume increases due to commuting drivers. Areas near Madison, such as the stretch between Vietnam Veterans Blvd and OHB, are known for heavy congestion and high-speed travel, both of which contribute to accident risks.
According to the Tennessee Department of Safety, common causes of crashes on interstates include distracted driving, speeding, and sudden lane changes. Multi-vehicle accidents on major highways often result in serious injuries and significant delays, creating challenges for those involved.
To improve safety on these roadways, drivers are encouraged to maintain safe following distances, adhere to speed limits, and stay alert to changing traffic conditions. In the aftermath of an accident, victims should document the scene, seek medical attention, and consult with professionals to handle any legal or insurance matters.
