In many cases, highway crashes involve multiple vehicles and can lead to devastating consequences.
Fatal accidents are often caused by driver negligence, impairment, or roadway hazards. Rear-end collisions, unsafe merging, and driver fatigue are also significant risks on highways. Authorities continue to emphasize the importance of defensive driving and awareness to prevent tragic incidents.
