According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), collisions involving two or more vehicles often stem from driver inattention, speeding, or adverse weather conditions. Drivers navigating high-traffic areas are encouraged to maintain safe distances, follow posted speed limits, and remain vigilant for sudden changes in traffic flow.
