Intersection Accidents in Missouri
Intersections on high-speed routes like State Highway 13 can be especially hazardous due to the mix of through traffic, turning vehicles, and limited reaction time for drivers. Collisions in these areas often result in significant injuries, particularly when one vehicle enters the intersection without yielding or misjudges the speed of oncoming traffic. Monday’s incident highlights the importance of cautious driving when approaching and navigating rural and semi-rural intersections.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, intersection-related crashes are a major contributor to injury collisions statewide. Key prevention measures include reducing speed when approaching intersections, using turn signals well in advance, and ensuring clear visibility before proceeding.
