Residential Intersection Collisions in Berks County
Neighborhood intersections like Harding Ave and Brooke Blvd often have a steady flow of local traffic mixed with delivery vehicles and occasional through traffic. While speeds may be lower than on major roads, these intersections can still see significant collisions, especially when drivers fail to yield or become distracted.
PennDOT data shows that residential crashes often involve factors such as rolling stops, limited sightlines, and driver inattention. Even at slower speeds, injuries can occur—particularly when pedestrians or cyclists are present.
Victims of such crashes may face medical bills, lost income, and recovery challenges. Pennsylvania law allows those injured due to another driver’s negligence to pursue compensation for these losses. Prompt legal guidance can help protect a victim’s rights and preserve key evidence.
Local roadway safety improvements—such as clearer signage, stop line markings, and speed enforcement—can help reduce accident risks in residential areas like Cumru Township.
