San Diego’s busy roadways, including the I-8 Freeway, are frequent sites of multi-vehicle accidents due to high traffic volumes and merging lanes. Accidents like these can result in significant injuries, property damage, and long-lasting emotional trauma for those involved.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), multi-vehicle crashes are common on freeways, often caused by distracted driving, speeding, or unsafe lane changes.
