Interstate Collisions in Tennessee
Tennessee’s interstate system, particularly in urban hubs like Nashville, experiences a high volume of traffic daily, increasing the risk of collisions. Interstates such as I-40, especially near complex interchanges like the I-65 split, are known for congestion, sudden lane changes, and merging traffic—all factors that can contribute to accidents.
Common causes of interstate collisions include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and following too closely. In Tennessee, drivers involved in accidents that result in injuries are legally required to remain at the scene, notify law enforcement, and provide assistance to any injured parties. Victims of such collisions often face not only physical injuries but also financial burdens due to medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle repairs.
