Risks Drivers Face at Multi-Vehicle Intersections in Delaware
Multi-vehicle crashes often happen at busy or rural highway intersections in Delaware, where traffic flows from several directions at once. Drivers may misjudge speed or distance, or fail to see an approaching vehicle when turning or crossing. When three or more vehicles are involved, the chance of injury rises because of multiple points of impact.
Those hurt in multi-vehicle crashes can suffer a wide range of injuries. These may include neck and back strain, broken bones, head injuries, and internal trauma. Some symptoms appear right away, while others may take hours or days to show. Medical visits help document injuries
and guide follow-up treatment if problems develop later.
