A multi-vehicle accident is only one type of car accident. Three or more cars often get into an accident together. They are usually caused by a “chain-reaction” crash, where one car bumps into another, which then bumps into other cars on the road. Many reasons cause traffic accidents, but the most common ones are reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, and distracted driving, among other things.
