Car Accidents in Ohio
Ohio experiences a high number of car accidents annually, with multi-vehicle crashes becoming increasingly common on highways like I-90. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, speeding, and adverse weather conditions. In 2023, the state reported thousands of traffic-related injuries, with highways being hotspots for such incidents.
After a crash, victims often face various challenges. Here are some of the most common causes of highway accidents:
- Speeding – Excessive speed reduces reaction times and increases the impact during collisions, resulting in severe injuries or fatalities.
- Distracted Driving – Phone usage and other distractions are leading causes of multi-vehicle crashes on busy roadways like I-90.
- Tailgating – Following too closely behind another vehicle leaves little room to avoid collisions in sudden traffic slowdowns.
- Adverse Weather Conditions – Rain, snow, or icy roads can significantly increase the likelihood of accidents due to reduced visibility and traction.
