Neighborhood Collisions on Buffalo’s West Side
Intersections like Forrest Ave and Parkdale Ave, situated in Buffalo’s 14213 ZIP code, are often the site of serious vehicle crashes—particularly during late-night hours when visibility drops and driver fatigue sets in. In urban residential zones like the West Side, crashes can occur suddenly due to limited sightlines, poorly lit streets, and drivers misjudging intersections.
Tuesday night’s collision serves as a reminder of the importance of reduced speeds and heightened awareness when navigating neighborhood intersections. While emergency responders acted quickly in this case, injuries sustained in residential crashes can range from minor to severe, often impacting victims’ ability to work, drive, or resume daily life.
Accidents in residential areas often leave more than just physical damage—they leave emotional and financial burdens on individuals and families. From ambulance rides and ER visits to time off work and insurance headaches, victims are often left wondering where to turn.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a neighborhood collision, it’s essential to seek the right information and support.
