Every year, hundreds of drivers are involved in weather-related accidents that could have been avoided by taking proper precautions.
Take a look at these incidents, which have taken place in recent years, and see if you can figure out where they occurred.
Can you name the state or highway in this photo?
Nope? That’s mile marker 102 of the Ohio Turnpike
What about the area that this large pileup took place in?
Don’t know that one either? It’s Interstate 70 outside of Denver, Colorado.
Know where this semi-truck pileup happened?
Interstate 40 east of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Yes, New Mexico.
Last one. Take a guess
This was part of a 193 vehicle accident on Interstate 94 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
The point is, Winter storms don’t discriminate. Weather related accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere, no matter how much experience you have behind the wheel.
Every Winter there are hundreds of weather-related semi truck accidents to report on, and we’re hoping this year we can cut down on a few with this friendly reminder.
Remember to slow down, maintain a safe following distance, and exercise extreme caution while driving this Winter season. No load is worth your life.
