A SigAlert issued Monday caused major traffic delays for morning commuters heading northbound on Interstate 15.
Steven M. Sweat's insight:
These multi car freeway accidents are, thankfully, not as frequent as one might think but, when the do happen, they usually result in major injuries and or fatalities. Fault in this types of freeway traffic collisions usually lies with one or more of three things: (1) Following too closely or "tailgating" in violation of Californai Vehicle Code section 21703; (2) Making an unsafe lane change in violation of California Vehicle Code section 21658; or (3) Traveling at an unsafe speed for road conditions including traffic congestion in violation of California Vehicle Code 22350.

Countless serious injury and death cases occur every year on southland freeways like this. Bystanders and investigating law enforcement officers, unfortunately are placed in harm's way by virtue of standing on or near traffic lanes that continue to flow with high volumes of vehicles traveling at speeds in excess of 70 mph. This is especially true in multi-vehicle accidents.
