Why Collisions Near Roadside Businesses Are a Safety Concern
Crashes in areas around gas stations and roadside businesses, like Dixon Marathon, are more common than many expect. Drivers entering or exiting these locations often make sudden turns or rejoin traffic at slower speeds, increasing the risk of side-impact or rear-end collisions. Pedestrian movement around fueling stations also adds to the potential for injury.
Even when speeds are lower, these accidents can result in significant harm. Leg injuries, for instance, are often associated with impacts in confined spaces or side collisions near curbs and poles. In Evansville and across Indiana, officials urge drivers to reduce speed, check blind spots carefully, and use clear signaling when approaching business entrances.
