FISHERS, NEW YORK (February 19, 2024) – At least one person was injured in a multi-vehicle collision in Fishers along the New York State Thruway.

A large number of collisions are due to inclement weather. According to Market Watch, “over half a million accidents per year are caused by snow, sleet, icy pavement or slushy pavement. Another sobering statistic is that on average, 1,705 Americans die each year due to crashes that happen in wintry weather.” Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries including:
The vast majority of car accidents are preventable and due to driver error. Drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid collisions.
