Collisions on major highways like I-71 can be particularly dangerous due to high speeds and heavy traffic volume. Accidents often occur due to sudden lane changes, distracted driving, or reduced reaction time in congested conditions. When multiple vehicles are involved, the risk of injury increases significantly.
Drivers should always remain vigilant, maintain a safe following distance, and be prepared for sudden stops, especially in high-traffic areas. Even seemingly minor crashes can result in injuries that require medical evaluation and treatment.
