In areas like Springfield Gardens, where major roadways intersect, the potential for accidents increases, especially when multiple vehicles are involved. Tractor-trailer collisions can cause more severe damage and injuries due to the massive force exerted during impact.
The exact cause of today’s collision is still under investigation, but factors such as speeding, driver distraction, or failure to yield may have played a role. In addition, weather conditions, including rain or fog, can reduce visibility and make roads more hazardous, especially for large vehicles navigating busy intersections.
