200 Car Pileup Provides Reminder of the Risk Associated with Harsh Weather Conditions
Harsh weather can increase the risk of deadly collisions, which include multi-car pileups. Storms involving snow, rain and/or fog can decrease visibility and increase stopping distance. If drivers fail to slow down and drive with extra caution when road conditions and visibility are compromised, a chain reaction crash involving many vehicles can result in a substantial toll in injuries and/or loss of life.
