Intersection Crashes in Smaller Cities Like Burton
Even in cities with less traffic volume than nearby metropolitan areas, intersections remain a common site for collisions. In Burton, intersections such as Morrison and James St can become dangerous due to limited visibility, higher-speed residential cut-throughs, and drivers failing to stop fully at controlled crossings.
The Michigan State Police report that non-highway intersections are a frequent source of injury collisions statewide. In 2024, thousands of injury crashes were recorded on local roads throughout Genesee County, many of which occurred in residential zones similar to the area of Sunday’s incident.
Drivers are reminded to reduce speed when approaching intersections, obey all signage, and watch for cross traffic. Even small moments of inattention in these areas can result in injury or property damage.
Anyone injured in a crash should seek immediate medical attention and may wish to speak with a professional about their legal and insurance options to ensure proper support and compensation.
