Rural stretches of state routes like SR-3 in Delaware County often present underestimated hazards—limited lighting, sharp curves, and changing road conditions all contribute to the elevated risk of overnight and early morning collisions. Drivers traveling during these hours are especially vulnerable to factors like fatigue, reduced reaction time, and decreased visibility.
Crashes on roads like this can have long-lasting impacts, particularly for those with serious injuries requiring hospitalization. In addition to physical recovery, victims are often faced with steep medical bills, missed work, emotional distress, and the uncertainty of dealing with insurance companies or legal follow-up.
