Traffic Collisions in California
California is home to some of the busiest highways in the nation, with interstates like I-280 often experiencing significant congestion and accident risks. Traffic collisions in urban areas such as San Jose frequently occur due to speeding, driver inattention, and unsafe lane changes.
