Weather-Related Crashes in Florida
While icy road conditions are uncommon in Florida, they can create hazardous driving environments when they occur, particularly on high-speed roadways like I-95. Sudden drops in temperature or early morning frost can lead to slippery surfaces, reducing vehicle traction and increasing the risk of collisions.
Drivers navigating potentially icy conditions should reduce speed, maintain safe following distances, and avoid sudden braking or turning. FDOT and other agencies emphasize the importance of staying updated on weather forecasts and road conditions before travel.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash caused by hazardous weather, taking immediate action is crucial. Seek medical care, document the scene, and consult with professionals to understand your rights and options for recovery.
