Which description describes the two-accident scenario?

Which description describes the two-accident scenario?

• A. Car hits stopped car, driver exits, and is struck by a third car
• B. Car hits car, which causes second car to hit another car and so on
• C. A single car rear-ends a stationary vehicle
• D. A vehicle collides with a fixed object

Answer: (B)

In a two-accident scenario, there is a chain reaction where one crash directly causes a second crash. The description that fits this best is a car hitting another car, which then causes the second car to hit a third car—two collisions occurring in sequence, one leading to the next. This shows the cascading effect typical of a two-accident sequence. The other descriptions don’t fit as cleanly: one involves a single impact with a stationary vehicle, another involves colliding with a fixed object, and the remaining option describes a situation where an initial crash is followed by an additional event that isn’t the straightforward second collision in a chain.
