Highway Ramp Crashes in Connecticut
On-ramp collisions—like the one reported at the Springbrook Road entrance to I-95 South—can be particularly dangerous due to merging traffic, sudden acceleration, and tight turning radii. Drivers must often make quick decisions in short distances, which can lead to rear-end collisions or sideswipes during peak hours or when visibility is limited.
In New London County, entrance and exit ramps to I-95 are common sites for injury-causing accidents, particularly near interchanges like Springbrook Rd. These ramps connect major commuter corridors, and errors during merging or lane-changing often result in crashes. Even single-vehicle accidents can cause injury if the driver loses control while navigating the curve or entering fast-moving traffic.
Injuries reported in ramp accidents frequently include neck and back strain, shoulder injuries, or whiplash due to the sudden jolt from a lower-speed crash that still delivers significant force. Victims may need physical therapy, diagnostic imaging, and time off from work to fully recover.
Navigating post-accident recovery involves more than emergency care—it includes dealing with insurance companies, vehicle repairs, and follow-up treatment. Understanding these steps is critical to protecting your health and your rights.
