Chain-reaction accidents can occur when drivers are unable to stop in time after a vehicle ahead brakes suddenly or meets with an accident. Motorists are advised to maintain a safe following distance, remain alert and adhere to speed limits to reduce the risk of such incidents.
The accident also highlighted the potential for a single vehicle losing control to trigger multiple collisions on busy roads, especially during periods of heavy traffic.
