The incident, reported at approximately 6:09 a.m., involved three vehicles, resulting in at least one reported injury.

Safety Tips for Avoiding Multi-Vehicle Accidents
To reduce your risk of being involved in a multi-vehicle accident, consider the following safety tips:
- Avoid Distractions: Stay focused on the road by avoiding phone use or other distractions while driving.
- Maintain a Safe Distance: Always leave enough space between your vehicle and the one in front of you to allow sudden stops.
- Follow Speed Limits: Speeding reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of collisions, particularly in high-traffic areas.
- Be Extra Cautious in High-Traffic Zones: Pay close attention to signage and other drivers when navigating busy areas like airports or intersections.
- Check for Blind Spots: Always check your mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes or merging.
If you are ever involved in an accident, prioritize safety by pulling over to a secure location, contacting emergency services, and documenting the scene with photos and witness contact information.
