Interstate Accidents in Arkansas
I-40 is one of Arkansas’s most traveled highways, spanning the state and connecting key regions. In areas like Crawford County, where rural and high-speed traffic converge, the potential for serious injury accidents is heightened—especially near ramps and exits such as Exit 13.
According to the Arkansas Department of Transportation, interstate collisions remain a leading cause of traffic-related injuries statewide. These crashes are often linked to high speeds, sudden lane changes, and reduced reaction times. When accidents occur on rural stretches of freeway, response times can vary, making it even more vital for drivers to exercise caution.
After an accident on a major interstate, it’s critical for those involved to seek medical care, document the crash site, and understand their rights. Professional guidance can help ensure that injury victims receive appropriate support through insurance and any legal proceedings.
