Car accidents can happen at any time and can be fatal for all individuals involved. Unfortunately, even safe drivers can be involved in a car accident due to the negligence of someone else. Multi-vehicle crashes are devastating, especially when they lead to multiple fatalities. It is important to constantly be aware while driving to try and prevent a potential crash.
