Parking Lot Collisions and Injury Risks in Albuquerque
Though often overlooked, parking lot crashes, especially those involving injuries, are more common than many realize. Confined spaces, poor visibility, and hurried driving contribute to a significant number of low-speed collisions that can still result in harm, particularly to pedestrians or occupants in smaller vehicles.
In this case, the crash at the AutoZone lot near Coors Blvd SW underscores the importance of caution in high-traffic commercial zones. Even at slower speeds, impacts can cause neck and back injuries, especially when drivers or passengers are caught off guard.
Shoppers and drivers alike are urged to proceed slowly in retail lots, yield at all internal intersections, and remain vigilant for pedestrians entering or exiting stores. The presence of multiple vehicles, limited space, and frequent stopping points means collisions can happen in an instant.
