Urban intersections like Milton Ave and Lodge Dr in Janesville are common locations for injury crashes due to high traffic volume, frequent turning movements, and limited reaction time during peak hours. Thursday’s crash serves as a stark reminder that even routine drives can turn dangerous in an instant.
In Wisconsin, intersections account for a significant portion of injury collisions. Factors often include distracted driving, failure to yield, or misjudging the flow of traffic. When injuries occur, victims may face a range of challenges—from physical recovery to navigating complex insurance claims and vehicle repairs.
