Highway Collision Risks on the Everett Turnpike
The Everett Turnpike is one of New Hampshire’s most heavily traveled corridors, and incidents like the one near MM 15.4 highlight the risks posed by high-speed, multi-lane traffic. Sudden lane changes, speed differentials, and congestion often contribute to crashes in these areas.
According to New Hampshire traffic data, turnpike crashes are among the leading sources of injury collisions statewide, particularly on weekends when traffic volume increases. Rear-end impacts, side swipes, and lane drift are all common in such environments.
Drivers are encouraged to maintain safe following distances, minimize distractions, and use caution when merging or changing lanes. After any crash, seeking medical care and documenting the incident are essential for both health and legal protection.
