Why Do These Accidents Happen?
Several elements contribute to severe crashes at intersections like this one, including driver inattention, failure to obey signals, and the disparity in vehicle sizes between passenger cars and commercial trucks. The NHTSA highlights that semi-trucks require significantly more stopping distance, amplifying risks in high-speed zones.
In Fremont, growing traffic volumes on major parkways have led to increased scrutiny of signal timing and roadway design by local authorities.
