Residential Roadway Crashes in East Baton Rouge Parish
Crashes at intersections like Lovett Rd and Sullivan Rd are not uncommon in Central, where suburban growth has led to increased traffic through previously quieter areas. These intersections often see steady flows of local and commuter traffic, with limited signals or signage contributing to collision risks.
Accidents in such areas may stem from driver inattention, failure to yield, or sudden braking. Unlike major highways, residential intersections may lack turn lanes or be poorly lit, increasing the potential for injury when accidents occur. Victims of these crashes should seek immediate medical attention and consider contacting professionals for help navigating insurance claims or understanding their legal rights.
