ODOT CRASH REMOVAL

THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO HELP CLEAR TRAFFIC FASTER AFTER CRASHES. .

ODOT SAYS OVER THE PAST YEAR THERE ARE ABOUT 300,000 TRAFFIC CRASHES IN OHIO AND NON-INJURY CRASHES ON AVERAGE BLOCK TRAFFIC FOR 55 MINUTES, INCREASING THE CHANCE OF SECONDARY CRASHES, WHICH TEND TO BE MORE SEVERE. ODOT ALSO SAYS MOST SECONDARY CRASHES HAPPEN WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF THAT INITIAL CRASH. ODOT SAYS CLEARING THOSE CRASHES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE INCREASES SAFETY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.
