Intersection Crash Risks in Evansville: Rotherwood & Washington
The intersection of Rotherwood and Washington Ave lies within a busy sector of Evansville, where residential and commercial traffic frequently intersect. Crashes in such areas often result from speeding, late-night driver fatigue, or misjudged right-of-way decisions.
According to Indiana traffic data, late-night crashes are commonly associated with limited visibility and impaired reaction times. Two-vehicle collisions at intersections often lead to side-impact injuries, which can be serious depending on impact location and vehicle speed.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down at intersections, double-check for cross traffic, and maintain heightened awareness—especially during nighttime hours when risks increase.
