Intersection Collisions in Clifton, New Jersey
The crash at Piaget Avenue and Barclay Avenue highlights the persistent risks drivers face at local intersections throughout Clifton. While not as high-speed as major highway interchanges, neighborhood intersections often see a mix of local traffic, pedestrians, and parked vehicles—creating blind spots and quick decision points that can lead to serious collisions.
Piaget Ave, in particular, runs through a busy corridor of Clifton’s central district and frequently experiences steady commuter flow. When drivers are distracted or fail to yield appropriately, even low-speed crashes can result in injuries—especially in T-bone or side-impact collisions.
According to the New Jersey Department of Transportation, intersection-related crashes account for a large portion of the state’s annual injury collisions. Victims often suffer soft tissue damage, concussions, or more severe injuries requiring rehabilitation. Beyond medical recovery, affected individuals may face time away from work, vehicle damage, and insurance disputes.
Safety enhancements in areas like Piaget and Barclay may include better signage, updated pavement markings, or speed-calming initiatives. Still, defensive driving and full awareness of surroundings remain the most effective tools in preventing intersection accidents.
