Single-Vehicle Bridge Accidents in North Carolina
Single-vehicle crashes, such as the one on the Glenwood Dr ramp from I-85, often involve factors like speed, distracted driving, mechanical failure, or roadway conditions. When these crashes occur on bridges or ramps, the risks can be elevated due to narrower lanes, barriers, and limited escape routes.
In Charlotte, ramps leading from major interstates are high-traffic connectors, frequently used by both commuters and long-distance travelers. A single miscalculation or loss of control in these areas can result in severe impacts, even without another vehicle involved.
Victims of single-vehicle crashes may still face significant medical and financial consequences. Under North Carolina law, those injured have the right to seek assistance with medical costs, lost income, and related damages if negligence, unsafe conditions, or mechanical issues contributed to the incident.
Drivers are reminded to exercise caution when navigating interstate ramps and bridges, especially at night when visibility is reduced.
