Besides personal injuries, what other consequences can traffic accidents cause?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic accidents have repercussions that go far beyond human casualties. They are generally classified into personal injuries, material damage, and administrative/health costs. The correct answer points out that they can damage the road and the environment because:  Road damage: An accident often causes broken signs, deformed safety barriers (guardrails), pavement damage, and damage to street furniture.  Environmental damage: Hazardous substances such as gasoline, oil, or brake fluids spill, contaminating soil and water, in addition to smoke in case of fire. The other options are incorrect because they use the restrictive word 'Only', ignoring that the impact of an accident is comprehensive (vehicles, road, healthcare, police, insurance, etc.).
