Urban Collisions Along Charleston’s Arterial Routes
Bigley Ave serves as a key access road in Charleston, connecting several neighborhoods and commercial areas. Its frequent use by both local drivers and commuters increases the likelihood of mid-day collisions, particularly at points where visibility is limited or traffic flow changes rapidly.
In 2024, Charleston reported hundreds of vehicle crashes, many of which occurred on arterial roads like Bigley Ave. These routes tend to see more rear-end and side-impact crashes due to the mix of high volume, frequent stops, and driveways or business exits.
Drivers are reminded to maintain safe distances, use caution when changing lanes, and remain alert—especially in areas where pedestrian activity or merging traffic can increase risks.
Victims injured in such accidents are encouraged to document the scene, seek prompt medical care, and consider their legal options if another party’s negligence was involved. West Virginia law provides injured drivers and passengers the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, property damage, and other losses.
