Highway Collisions in Lexington
Busy corridors such as East New Circle Road in Lexington are common locations for injury collisions due to heavy traffic volumes and complex ramp merges. Accidents on or near ramps often involve sudden braking, merging conflicts, or misjudged speeds, all of which can increase the likelihood of injury crashes.
