Why Intersection Crashes Can Be Particularly Dangerous
Intersections are common sites for serious crashes due to crossing traffic and multiple directions of travel.
Drivers may misjudge speed, fail to yield, or encounter unexpected movements from other vehicles.
These factors can increase the likelihood of severe collisions, especially at higher speeds or in less-controlled intersections.
