What Causes Major Multi-Vehicle Collisions on Highways? Highway pileups frequently occur when traffic conditions shift rapidly, giving drivers insufficient time to respond. High speeds can intensify impact forces and make it more difficult to evade other vehicles. Intersections and connecting roads, such as Trellis Lane, can introduce added complexity to traffic flow.
