Interstate 5 Accident Results in Fatality

The increasing crash rate reflects that auto accidents are becoming rampant. They are a leading cause of death for individuals ages 5-64.

Indeed, driving is essential for many in order to move about in their lives. It is one of the most dangerous activities we do daily. Consequently, as common as they are, many people do not suspect what follows in the event of a vehicle accident like the Interstate 5 accident.

Furthermore, according to the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), there are approximately 300,000 merging accidents every year.

It is crucial to remain calm to properly handle the immediate aftermath of a traffic accident.
