A motor vehicle accident or traffic collision occurs when a car strikes another, a person, a tree, an animal, or a property like a sign, mailbox, or fence. An accident can be a single-vehicle crash, two-vehicle collision, multiple-vehicle collision, auto-pedestrian collision, auto-motorcycle collision, or auto-bicycle collision.
Common causes of crashes are running red lights, disobeying stop signs, wrong-way driving, driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol, or distracted driving caused by texting, calling, or eating. Others are tailgating, animal sighting, mechanical defects, adverse weather conditions like rain, snow, or fog, or an underlying medical condition. Drivers can mitigate the factors by obeying the rules of the road and putting safety above all else.
