Roadway Safety: A Shared Responsibility

Accidents like the one on Interstate 5 serve as important reminders of how vital it is to practice caution behind the wheel. Always stay alert, avoid distractions, and maintain a safe following distance, especially in high-speed areas near freeway onramps and offramps. If you notice erratic driving or encounter an obstacle on the road, report it immediately.
