We’re keeping those injured in our thoughts as they get medical treatment. Why Multi-Vehicle Crashes Often Lead to Major Freeway Delays. Freeways handle a high volume of vehicles moving at elevated speeds. In multi-vehicle crashes involving cars or trucks, lanes can rapidly get blocked, causing traffic to slow down or halt. The involved vehicles may end up spanning several lanes, making it unsafe for other drivers to pass through.
