Intersections like S 1st St and Woodland St, particularly in busy areas such as Nashville’s East Bank, can present elevated risks for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Heavy traffic volumes, complex lane patterns, and mixed-use roadways often contribute to the likelihood of collisions. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security reports that intersection-related accidents make up a significant portion of the state’s annual injury crashes, often caused by distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield.
When injury accidents occur, victims may face challenges that extend far beyond the scene of the crash.
