Why Intersection Crashes Are Often Severe
Collisions at intersections can be particularly dangerous because vehicles are often moving in different directions at the point of impact. Failure to obey traffic signals or stop signs greatly increases the risk of injury or death.
Even low-speed crashes can cause serious harm, especially to older drivers. Emergency responders prioritize rapid medical care and scene management to protect everyone involved while investigators piece together how the crash occurred.
