The total solar eclipse on April 8 could come with an uptick in fatal car crashes, scientists caution in a new report.

It’s more common to hear about eclipse-related eye injuries than car crashes. But during the last total solar eclipse in North America — the “Great American Eclipse” of 2017 — the U.S. saw a brief-but-significant increase in fatal crashes, researchers warned in a research letter published Monday (March 25) in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
