Car Accidents in Florida

Florida’s interstates are some of the busiest in the nation, making crashes an unfortunate daily reality. With over 400,000 traffic accidents reported each year statewide, drivers on highways like I-75 face elevated risks—especially during early morning hours when visibility may be lower and traffic patterns shift.

Let’s take a look at some key issues tied to early morning highway crashes in Florida:

Driver Drowsiness: Accidents before sunrise often involve fatigued drivers. Sleep-deprived individuals have slower reflexes and can easily drift into another lane or fail to respond quickly to changing traffic.
Limited Visibility: At dawn, light conditions are constantly changing. This can create glare or make it harder for drivers to clearly see vehicles, debris, or pedestrians. When visibility is low, the chance of a crash increases significantly.
Reduced Traffic Enforcement: Fewer patrol cars are active early in the day, which may lead some drivers to speed or make risky maneuvers. Reduced monitoring can contribute to more aggressive or careless behavior behind the wheel.
Rushed Commutes: Some drivers rush to work or early appointments, increasing the likelihood of speeding, sudden lane changes, or tailgating. These behaviors make highways more dangerous, especially when traffic begins to build.
Poor Road Conditions or Debris: At night or early morning, maintenance crews may not yet have cleared debris or addressed road issues. Unexpected obstacles can catch drivers off guard, especially at high speeds.
