About 30 crashes take place each hour throughout Florida. Many of these crashes will occur on highways. A highway crash may be catastrophic and cause severe injuries as a result of the speed of vehicles involved and the relative congestion of the highway compared to other public streets. For this reason, multiple vehicles are also likely to be affected in a highway collision.
