Highway Collisions in Tennessee
Late-night collisions on major roadways like TN-385 often result in serious outcomes due to higher speeds, limited visibility, and reduced driver attentiveness. The crash near Riverdale Rd underscores the risks associated with nighttime driving on Memphis’s highway system, especially in zones with heavy commuter traffic and complex interchanges.
Injury-related accidents on highways can have lasting impacts on those involved. Victims often face not only physical harm, but also emotional stress and financial strain tied to hospital visits, follow-up care, insurance hurdles, and transportation needs. Prompt medical attention and thorough documentation are critical in these situations, particularly when more than one vehicle or driver may be at fault.
Memphis continues to be a hotspot for serious crashes on its beltway and connector roads.
