Crash Risks at Suburban Intersections in West Omaha
Tuesday’s personal injury crash near N 156th St and Spalding Plaza illustrates the dangers of traffic collisions in suburban zones—areas where residential convenience meets commercial bustle. These intersections often become high-risk areas during the late afternoon hours as people travel home, pick up children, or run errands.
