Collisions at intersections and exit ramps can be especially hazardous, as they often involve vehicles traveling at different speeds or making sudden lane changes.
Common causes of crashes at highway exits include driver distraction, failure to yield, and inclement weather conditions. In some cases, visibility issues and roadway design may also contribute to collisions.
