Crash Risks at Major Interchanges in New Jersey
Crashes at interchanges like US 1 and I-295 in Lawrence Twp are not uncommon, particularly during peak traffic hours when high-speed merges and lane changes increase risk. Monday’s crash demonstrates the ongoing challenges drivers face at major junctions, where congested traffic, quick transitions, and split-second decisions can lead to serious outcomes.
Even though only the right shoulder was closed, emergency operations in such high-volume areas require extra caution. The “Move Over” law in New Jersey exists to protect first responders in these situations, and all drivers are reminded to slow down and change lanes if safe to do so.
Victims of crashes at complex interchanges often deal with more than immediate injuries; they may face extended recovery, vehicle loss, and uncertainty about how to proceed. Understanding your rights and accessing the right resources quickly can help ease that burden.
