Crashes like the one at Mill Creek Rd and Greenbrier St serve as a reminder of the risks drivers face even during routine commutes. Morning traffic periods are particularly hazardous due to volume, timing pressure, and reduced reaction time from drivers still adjusting to the day. These conditions often contribute to collisions at busy intersections across Kanawha County.
In Milliken, the intersection of Mill Creek Rd and Greenbrier St connects several local neighborhoods and is frequently used as a route toward downtown Charleston or Yeager Airport.
