Highways in mountainous areas, such as Angeles Crest Highway, pose distinct driving challenges that can heighten both the likelihood and seriousness of accidents. These roads have sharp curves, steep inclines, and poor visibility, making it hard for drivers to respond swiftly to changing conditions. Narrow lanes and scant shoulder room also provide little margin for error. In these areas, vehicle collisions can be more severe due to high speeds paired with challenging terrain. Early morning factors, like dim light or road moisture, can increase the risk of accidents.
