Collisions in dense urban areas like West Baltimore are not uncommon, particularly near intersections such as N Calhoun and W Franklin Streets, where both residential and through-traffic converge. Saturday evening’s crash near 503 N Calhoun St is a stark reminder of how quickly a routine drive can become a medical emergency.
