Crashes Near Interchanges Like SR-13 and I-69 in Ingalls Pose Heightened Risk
Highway-adjacent crashes often result from lane changes, merging conflicts, or abrupt slowdowns near exits and on-ramps. The intersection of SR-13 and I-69 in Ingalls is particularly busy during peak hours, making it a common site for injury-related accidents.
According to Indiana Department of Transportation data, crash rates are higher near highway access points due to the mix of high-speed traffic and local turning movements. These crashes often involve significant vehicle damage and moderate to serious injuries.
Drivers approaching interchange zones are urged to reduce speed, check blind spots, and signal well in advance when exiting or merging. Remaining aware of traffic patterns and road conditions is key to avoiding dangerous conflicts near major corridors.
