Student Accidents During Morning Commutes
Morning commute periods can be busy around schools and neighborhood roads. Students may be walking, crossing streets, getting dropped off, or moving near traffic as drivers head to work. These conditions can create added risk when vehicles and students share the same area.
Visibility can also affect safety during the morning. Sun glare, parked cars, curves, and traffic near school routes may make it harder for drivers to see people nearby. Slower speeds can give everyone more time to react.
After a student is hurt in a crash, medical checks help determine the extent of injuries. Some symptoms may appear later, especially after the first shock of the incident passes.
