The crash at Oak Road and Apple Tree Road serves as a reminder of the risks on rural roads in Sussex County, particularly at intersections where traffic may be less frequent but still prone to accidents. Collisions in these areas often happen when drivers may not anticipate the sudden presence of another vehicle or are navigating sharp turns or poorly lit roads.
To reduce the risk of accidents, it is important for drivers to remain cautious, especially when approaching intersections in rural areas.
