Interstate Collisions and Urban Driving Hazards in Columbus
Traffic crashes on I-670—especially near interchanges like McKinley Ave—are frequently caused by lane changes, congestion, and sudden braking. As one of Columbus’s major east-west expressways, I-670 serves both local and through traffic, increasing the risk for rear-end and side-swipe collisions during peak hours.
Unlike surface streets, freeway crashes can happen at higher speeds and with limited reaction time. Even moderate collisions on interstates often result in injuries due to the force of impact and close vehicle spacing. Those injured may face complications ranging from whiplash to internal trauma—especially if seatbelt usage or airbag deployment fails to mitigate the impact.
Immediate medical attention and post-crash documentation are essential steps following any highway incident. In Columbus, the dense traffic grid and elevated speeds make it critical for drivers to remain alert and avoid aggressive maneuvers near on-ramps and exits.
