Why Injuries Happen on Interstate Highways
Injuries are common in interstate crashes because vehicles travel at higher speeds and traffic moves in dense patterns. When something goes wrong, drivers often have little time to react. These conditions increase the risk that a crash will lead to someone getting hurt.
Highways like I-95 see a mix of local and long-distance traffic throughout the day. Sudden braking, lane changes, and heavy congestion can raise the chance of a crash. Even a brief moment of inattention can result in injuries when speeds are elevated.
People involved in highway crashes may experience a wide range of injuries. Some notice pain right away, while others feel stiffness or soreness hours later. Neck, back, and head injuries are common, and medical visits help identify issues that may not be obvious at first.
