Expressway Merge Collisions and Safety in Bayside, Queens
Crashes at expressway exits and merge zones—such as the intersection of Clearview Expy N and Willets Point Blvd—are particularly common in New York City, where high-speed traffic abruptly mixes with local roadways. Drivers navigating exit ramps or attempting to enter expressways often face narrow lanes, blind spots, and sudden braking, all of which increase the risk of collisions.
Bay Terrace and surrounding Bayside areas experience steady commuter traffic and frequent congestion, especially near key corridors like the Clearview. In such zones, injury crashes can result from sideswipes, rear-end impacts, or improper lane changes.
Even when injuries are not immediately life-threatening, they may lead to lasting consequences, including whiplash, concussion, or back injuries that require ongoing treatment.
Anyone injured in a highway-access crash should seek prompt medical evaluation, keep detailed records, and be aware of their rights under New York’s no-fault insurance system.
