Traffic Crashes in Columbus
Busy intersections like E 9th Ave and N High St, particularly in university zones, present unique risks due to a high concentration of student drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. These conditions often lead to increased chances of traffic incidents, especially during weekends and peak activity hours.
According to Ohio traffic data, university-adjacent zones in Columbus are among the most accident-prone due to factors like distracted driving, jaywalking, and complex traffic patterns. Collisions in such areas can involve serious injuries, especially when they occur at high-traffic intersections or involve multiple modes of transportation.
