Collisions like the one near South Lafayette Avenue underscore the risk drivers face even during low-traffic hours. While late-night roadways may appear safer due to reduced volume, decreased visibility and driver fatigue can significantly increase the likelihood of serious accidents.
Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods, including those near Lafayette Ave, see a mix of residential and commuter traffic—often making these streets vulnerable to crashes, especially when road awareness is compromised. In two-vehicle collisions, the dynamic between drivers often leads to complex investigations that consider not only road conditions, but speed, lighting, and decision-making in the moments leading up to impact.
