Car Accidents in California
Busy intersections and freeway ramps, such as the Palm Off-Ramp near Kostner Dr in San Diego, are frequent locations for multi-vehicle accidents. These areas often experience high traffic volumes and merging lanes, increasing the risk of collisions caused by distracted driving, speeding, or sudden lane changes.
