Fog and High Speeds Lead to Day of Dangerous Crashes in California
On a foggy morning at the end of January, Highway 198 in central California saw a series of accidents involving more than 50 vehicles. An officer who was on duty reported that some accidents occurred minutes apart and others just seconds. What was the problem? Was it too dangerous to be out in the fog? Only because drivers were going too fast, according to the officer.
Unsafe Speeds Lead to Car Accidents
Several weeks back, we wrote a blog about the role speeding plays in road fatalities. Fortunately, there appear to be no fatalities in the recent series of accidents noted above. The fact is, however, that many of the accidents could have been avoided entirely if drivers had left extra time and driven slower in accord with the unsafe foggy conditions.
We want to encourage all of our clients and blog readers to check road conditions and drive accordingly. However, if you ever are injured in a car accident, especially if the other driver seems to have been speeding or violating other traffic laws, we’re here for you.
