Collisions in Charleston’s West End District
Accidents in Charleston’s 7th Ave corridor, particularly in the west end near the 2400 block, are not uncommon. This area sees a blend of local traffic, commercial vehicles, and residents navigating narrow roadways with limited signage. As such, the risk of collisions tends to increase, especially during mid-day traffic periods.
In 2024, Charleston reported hundreds of crashes citywide, with the west end accounting for a substantial share. Vehicle accidents in these areas often involve rear-end collisions, failure to yield, or distracted driving—each capable of producing injuries even at lower speeds.
After an injury crash, it’s important for those involved to document the scene, seek prompt medical care, and cooperate with local authorities. In West Virginia, injured parties have the right to pursue compensation if another driver’s negligence contributed to the crash.
