Collisions on Busy Lexington Roadways
Richmond Rd is one of Lexington’s primary corridors, carrying significant volumes of both local and through traffic daily. Intersections like Richmond Rd and Patchen Dr can be high-risk areas due to turning traffic, frequent lane changes, and varying speeds, particularly during morning travel hours.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, thousands of injury-causing collisions occur each year in urban areas of the state, with many taking place at major intersections. Common contributing factors include distracted driving, failing to yield, and speeding. These factors can make even routine commutes hazardous for motorists.
Following an accident, victims should seek prompt medical evaluation, even if injuries seem minor, as some conditions may not present symptoms immediately. Gathering evidence from the scene—including photographs, witness statements, and police reports—can be essential for supporting insurance claims or legal actions. Kentucky law allows individuals injured by another driver’s negligence to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages stemming from the crash.
