Intersection Accidents and Urban Crash Trends in Newburgh
Crashes like the one at Gidney Ave and Robinson Ave are unfortunately common in densely populated urban areas like the City of Newburgh. Intersections with high traffic volume and limited sightlines are particularly prone to collisions, especially during peak travel times such as early morning.
Injury crashes at intersections often result from failure to yield, red-light running, distracted driving, or improper turning. The exact cause of Saturday's crash remains under review, but early morning conditions — including sun glare, driver fatigue, or hurried driving — can contribute significantly to such incidents.
