TRAFFIC SLOWS DOWN AT ENTRANCE RAMPS SO MORE RISK OF MULTI CAR CRASHES
The Minnesota State Patrol reported a multi vehicle crash yesterday. The crash happened at the Westbound I-94 ramp existing to Highway 241. All involved vehicles were westbound I-94 exiting to Hwy 241.The vehicles on the ramp were slowing due to a stalled vehicle. The rear-most vehicle, a Nissan Sentra rear ended a Nissan Murano, pushing the Nissan Murano into the Nissan A2S. Next, the Nissan A2S was pushed into the Honda Accord. Our car accident lawyers have handled many cases like this in Minnesota.
Car accidents near or at an entrance or exit ramp are very common. When cars are driving on the highway at highway speeds, traffic can suddenly slow, or even stop, as other vehicles start to merge onto the highway at an entrance ramp. Unfortunately, in this case, there was a stalled vehicle that caused the problem. This led to the crash because the oncoming cars were driving too close or fast to control their cars.
It is important to be aware of upcoming entrance and exit ramps as you are driving on a highway and stay alert for sudden changes in traffic speed. But there is nothing you can do if the driver behind you is not paying attention and you are rear-ended on a highway entrance ramp or exit ramp.
