Crossville, TN (September 9, 2020) First responders in Crossville on September 10th responded to an accident that occurred on Sparta Highway at the Highland Square Shopping Center’s entrance. The accident involved the collision between a Toyota and a Subaru. Due to the collision, one adult was hurt and received treatment for minor injuries at a nearby hospital.

Why Parking Lot Crashes Occur 

Motorists can end up in parking lot collisions, but some of the most common reasons that these accidents occur include:

  • Backing into other vehicles in the parking lot
  • Distracted driving, which can be due to many activities but most often includes texting or talking on the phone
  • Driving too fast for either the parking lot’s posted speed limit or adverse conditions like rain
  • Failing to obey traffic regulations, which often include directed lanes of traffic or stop signs
  • Following too closely behind other vehicles, leading to rear-end collisions when the front vehicle stops suddenly
  • Poor pavement conditions including debris and potholes
