How Are Intersection Crashes Investigated After Drivers Are Injured?
Crashes at intersections can involve several factors, including traffic signals, right-of-way decisions, vehicle speeds, and visibility conditions. Investigators may examine vehicle damage, roadway markings, witness accounts, and other evidence to determine how the collision occurred.
