Common fact patterns in Chattanooga major roads accidents include the pace of the cars on the interstate. Cars start to back up and then a car or a vehicle going fast comes over a hill or around the curve. Since cars are backed up, they slam into the back of the cars that are stopped or have slowed down. Oftentimes this causes a chain reaction that goes through four or five cars. Sometimes it causes chain reactions into other lanes.

Access to Emergency Response
Common fact patterns in Chattanooga major roads accidents are also impacted by outside factors, such as responses to the crash. It frequently takes emergency response vehicles an increased amount of time to get to a collision on the interstate, because traffic only flows in one direction. When a collision occurs, it often causes a traffic jam, making it difficult for emergency response personnel to get through the traffic to the collision site. It may be a longer amount of time before emergency personnel get to the injured people.
What is the Impact of Construction Sites?
There is a lot of construction going on in Chattanooga and catastrophic collisions have occurred in these construction zones. Several 18-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles have plowed through, causing significant mayhem and death in the construction zones as well as traffic jams on the interstates.
Lack of Instructional Signals
Speeding often contributes to collisions on the interstate more so than collisions on city streets. The speed limits are higher, but people are also more likely to significantly exceed the speed limit on the interstate. When vehicles collide at higher speeds, damage increases. The higher the speed the greater the damage is and the greater the likelihood of injury and death.
