Mid-Morning Intersection Collisions in Burton
Accidents at intersections like Fern Ave and E Bristol Rd are among the most common in Genesee County, often occurring when traffic patterns shift between morning errands and local business operations. These crashes typically result from left-turn errors, failure to yield, or inattention during cross-traffic movement.
