Highway Accidents in Virginia
Interstate 95 is one of the busiest highways on the East Coast, and high-speed travel combined with heavy congestion increases the likelihood of accidents. Crashes like this one at mile marker 156 can lead to lane closures, extended delays, and secondary collisions.
Common causes of highway crashes include distracted driving, speeding, sudden lane changes, and following too closely. When a lane closure occurs, the risk of further accidents increases as drivers navigate slower-moving traffic.
For those injured in highway accidents, seeking medical care and understanding their legal rights are critical steps. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. As authorities continue their investigation, drivers are urged to stay alert, reduce speed in accident zones, and practice safe driving habits.
