I-65 Crash Hazards Through Mobile
Interstate 65 serves as one of Mobile’s busiest travel corridors, connecting residential zones, commercial areas, and regional traffic entering or exiting the city. The stretch near Dauphin Street and Airport Boulevard is particularly active during midday hours, when vehicle density increases and speeds often fluctuate.
Even in cases where occupants are not trapped, collisions at highway speeds can result in neck, back, or leg injuries, many of which may worsen if not treated promptly. Injuries involving the cervical spine and lower limbs are common in highway collisions, especially when seatbelt tension and airbag deployment occur simultaneously.
Swift EMS response, such as that provided on Wednesday, plays a vital role in stabilizing patients and initiating appropriate care. It also helps investigators document injury patterns that can inform fault and improve roadway safety protocols.
Drivers in Mobile are urged to remain alert, especially during lane changes or merging near major interchanges like those on I-65. Distracted driving, tailgating, and sudden stops continue to be leading causes of injury crashes on this route.
If you or a loved one was injured in a crash on I-65 or elsewhere in Mobile, you may be entitled to assistance with medical care, transportation support, or legal guidance.
