Intersection Accidents in Newberry and Alachua County
The injury crash at SW 186th St and W Newberry Rd reflects the safety concerns common to suburban intersections in growing communities like Newberry. As development in Alachua County expands westward, traffic volumes have increased significantly on state and county roads, often without matching updates to infrastructure.
W Newberry Rd, a major east-west route into Gainesville, handles a mix of local and through traffic.
