Hartford Intersection Crash Risks
Intersections like Main St and Tower Ave are common sites for collisions in Hartford due to their traffic volume, multiple turning lanes, and occasional driver inattention. According to 2024 data from the Connecticut Department of Transportation, nearly 40% of all injury crashes in Hartford occurred at intersections, often involving turning conflicts or failure to yield.
Afternoon crashes are especially common as traffic volumes increase during the evening commute. When multiple lanes converge and drivers make last-minute decisions, the potential for serious collisions rises significantly.
For those involved in such incidents, even minor crashes can lead to whiplash, head injuries, or long-term pain if not promptly addressed. Seeking both medical evaluation and legal advice is recommended to ensure proper care and protection of rights.
