Highway Accidents in Connecticut
Interstate 95 is one of the busiest highways in Connecticut, serving as a critical artery for commuters and commercial travel across the state’s southern corridor. Crashes along this route are, unfortunately, frequent, particularly near exits and ramps where traffic merges and lane changes increase the risk of collision. Monday’s injury crash near Exit 36 in Milford is another example of how quickly conditions on the highway can change.
Even at moderate speeds, accidents on I-95 often result in significant injuries due to the density of traffic and the potential for multi-vehicle involvement. The elevated speed limit, combined with factors such as congestion, driver distraction, or abrupt lane shifts, contributes to a high rate of injury collisions, especially during evening hours.
While this particular crash’s details are still under review, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of defensive driving and maintaining safe distances, particularly when approaching exits. Accidents on off-ramps can also lead to secondary crashes, as drivers behind may not have enough warning or time to react to stopped vehicles.
For those involved, the impact can be far-reaching. Beyond the immediate physical injuries, victims often deal with property damage, insurance complications, and time away from work or family. Seeking prompt medical care and understanding your legal and recovery options is crucial after a highway crash like this.
