Crashes on major highways like I-75 are a frequent occurrence in Florida due to high speeds, heavy traffic, and unpredictable roadway conditions. With Sarasota being a key corridor for both local and long-distance travel, collisions in this area often lead to serious injuries and extensive vehicle damage.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), thousands of crashes occur on Florida’s highways each year. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, speeding, sudden lane changes, and poor weather conditions. Given the high speeds on interstates, even minor incidents can escalate into severe crashes.
