Car Accidents in California
California’s extensive highway network sees a significant number of traffic collisions each year, with areas like Mojave experiencing frequent incidents due to the intersection of major highways such as Highway 14 and Highway 58. These highways are critical transportation routes, but they also pose risks due to high speeds and heavy traffic.
