Residential Collisions and Injury Risks in Newark
Neighborhood crashes—such as the one reported on Badger Ave—highlight the dangers that exist even on local roads where speeds are relatively low. In Lower Clinton Hill and similar communities, high pedestrian activity, on-street parking, and narrow visibility often contribute to collisions.
Injury-related crashes in these areas can result from rolling stops, inattentive driving, or sudden movements from driveways or intersections. Even low-speed impacts can lead to whiplash, bruising, or concussions—especially for occupants without proper restraint or in vulnerable positions.
For those injured, the aftermath can involve more than just physical recovery. Handling property damage, insurance claims, and work disruptions can become overwhelming without support.
