Dangers of Multi-Vehicle Accidents in San Antonio
San Antonio’s highways, including Loop 1604, see frequent traffic congestion, increasing the likelihood of multi-vehicle collisions. High-speed roadways pose significant risks, particularly when vehicles are stopped or stalled on the side of the road. Drivers who do not anticipate these hazards may struggle to react in time, leading to secondary crashes like the one in this incident.
Head injuries, such as those reported in this crash, are a serious concern after vehicle accidents. Even when victims initially feel fine, traumatic brain injuries or concussions can develop over time, requiring medical attention and ongoing care. Additionally, collisions involving multiple vehicles can complicate liability and insurance claims, making it important for victims to understand their legal rights.
