Ramp and Interchange Crashes in New Hampshire
The incident on the Exit 7 ramp to Route 101 in Epping highlights the particular risks associated with crashes at highway interchanges. These ramps often involve sharp curves, merging traffic, and sudden speed adjustments, all of which can increase the risk of collisions—especially if drivers are unfamiliar with the area or traveling too fast for conditions.
New Hampshire’s highway system, including Route 101, supports a high volume of commuter and tourist traffic, particularly during summer holidays like the Fourth of July. The added traffic can lead to greater congestion and reduced reaction time on exits and ramps. Even single-vehicle crashes in these areas can cause major delays and pose hazards to others due to limited shoulders and fast-moving traffic.
Injury accidents on ramps may involve more than just the physical impact—they can result in emotional trauma, medical expenses, and disruptions to daily life. For victims, it’s important to seek not only immediate medical care but also ongoing support to navigate recovery and any legal or insurance challenges that may arise.
If you or someone you care about has been injured in a highway ramp accident, taking timely steps to secure care, documentation, and assistance is crucial.
