Car Accidents in Virginia
Virginia sees thousands of crashes each year, with many occurring on busy highways like I-95. According to state data, over 120,000 traffic accidents were reported in a recent year, resulting in tens of thousands of injuries and hundreds of fatalities. Congested roads, driver distractions, and high speeds contribute to a significant number of these incidents.
Several key factors lead to highway crashes. Here are some common risks drivers face:
- Heavy Traffic – Highways often experience congestion, increasing the likelihood of sudden stops and rear-end collisions. Bumper-to-bumper conditions leave little room for error.
- Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases impact severity in crashes. High-speed accidents often result in more serious injuries.
- Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and ice can make roads slick and reduce visibility, leading to loss of control and multi-vehicle pileups.
- Driver Fatigue – Long-distance travelers and truck drivers are particularly at risk for drowsy driving, which can be as dangerous as driving under the influence.
