First responders, including paramedics, assessed and treated individuals hurt in the crash. While the total number of vehicles involved has not been confirmed, the scene required medical attention and immediate roadway management.

Our thoughts are with those affected by this crash.

Navigating Crash Risks Along North Carolina Interstates

Crashes like the one reported at I-87 NB and Hodge Rd are part of a broader concern across North Carolina’s growing interstate system. As suburban regions like Knightdale experience increased development, traffic flow on connecting highways has risen, particularly during midday hours when drivers may assume roads are less congested.

Interstate collisions are commonly linked to distracted driving, high speeds, or sudden lane shifts. In the case of on- and off-ramps such as Hodge Rd, the risk increases when drivers attempt last-minute merges or miscalculate distances at interchanges.

According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, thousands of injury-related crashes occur on major highways each year, many near exits or junctions. Public safety officials emphasize the importance of maintaining awareness, adjusting speed in merge zones, and allowing adequate space between vehicles.

Incidents like this serve as a reminder that highway driving demands full attention, even outside traditional rush hour. Motorists can help prevent crashes by staying alert, minimizing distractions, and respecting traffic patterns near entrance and exit ramps.
