Motor Vehicle Accidents in Tennessee
Tennessee’s highways, particularly high-traffic interstates like I-24, are frequently the sites of motor vehicle accidents due to their heavy vehicle volume and high-speed travel. Areas such as the stretch between I-40 and I-440 are particularly prone to collisions during peak travel times.
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, distracted driving, speeding, and unsafe lane changes are leading causes of accidents on the state’s interstates. Drivers are encouraged to remain alert, maintain safe following distances, and adhere to posted speed limits to ensure safety.
Practicing defensive driving and planning routes to avoid high-traffic periods can help reduce the risk of accidents on Tennessee’s highways.
