Foggy Weather Conditions Raise Number of San Diego Car Accidents
Conditions on the road and overall weather is something drivers have very little control over that directly contribute to their likelihood of being involved in a fatal San Diego County auto accident. The State of California has the unique and coveted quality of allowing drivers to reach the mountains from the beach in a matter of mere hours, but that does not mean that everyone has the same familiarities with different weather conditions in our varied locales.
Fog is very common in many parts of California, and the coastal area account for a huge percentage of this. For cities like Oceanside, Chula Vista, and San Diego, foggy conditions are most prevalent during the spring and summer months, which is now. Though commonly referred to as "June Gloom", the fog really tends to roll in as early as March or April and carries the blame for many a serious San Diego car wreck.
Many car drivers have not developed driving skills to deal with the fog, but damaging and fatal multi-car pileups in dense fog on the freeways and streets are common annually, and many cars are caught tailgating others and even speeding in very low visibility, causing many rear-end accidents and even pedestrian deaths. Many times drivers will feel at ease in the fog, not realizing how bad it is until they hit a wall of it with little to no warning. Interstate 5 was known to have had a brutal 100+ car pileup with more than a dozen deaths, so it is something that San Diego area car drivers should be familiar with and take normal precautions for.
