Highways like SR-20 are common locations for traffic accidents due to higher speeds, congestion, and frequent merging traffic. Crashes on major roadways often involve rear-end collisions, lane-change accidents, or incidents caused by distracted or aggressive driving.
Even when the roadway is cleared quickly, highway accidents can serve as reminders of the importance of defensive driving. Staying alert, maintaining a safe following distance, and avoiding distractions can help reduce the risk of collisions.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a highway crash, seeking medical attention and understanding your legal rights are essential steps toward recovery.
