A spokesperson from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) suggested that this stretch of the highway might be more prone to catastrophic car accidents because of its design and what drivers use it the most often. This part of the I-5 is a straightaway that exits the heart of the city, going northward. The lack of curvature can tempt some drivers to speed. Meanwhile, any commercial trucks that need to haul freight north or south are almost guaranteed to use the I-5 to get the job done. The combination between reckless drivers and an abundance of big rigs can be deadly.
With the holiday season starting soon with Halloween, there will likely be an increase to this already-busy stretch of the I-5. All drivers in the area and traveling through should drive responsibly and defensively to help bring the number of accidents each year down to zero.
