Residential Intersection Crashes in New Jersey
Crashes at residential intersections—such as 3rd Street and Mivington Avenue—often happen when drivers least expect them. While traffic in these areas is generally slower, the close proximity of parked cars, frequent turns, and reduced visibility can lead to high-impact outcomes, even at low speeds.
Saturday afternoon collisions are not uncommon in neighborhoods like Clifton, where weekend activity often increases the number of vehicles, pedestrians, and distractions. A brief lapse in attention or failure to yield can result in serious injuries, particularly in intersections without stoplights or clear signage.
Injury crashes often lead to more than immediate pain. Many victims face extended recovery times, mounting medical costs, and the emotional strain of navigating insurance claims or transportation disruptions. Acting quickly—by seeking medical care, documenting the scene, and accessing legal or recovery support—can make all the difference.
Residents of Clifton and nearby areas should be aware that support systems exist, including local clinics, trauma services, and legal aid to help victims take back control after an accident.
Even short drives can lead to serious consequences—safety and support are essential.
