Intersection Accidents in Pawtucket
Intersections like Central Avenue and Daggett Avenue are frequent sites of vehicle collisions due to converging traffic, frequent turns, and reduced visibility during peak travel times. Accidents at these locations can lead to a range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to more serious trauma requiring hospital care.
In Pawtucket, busy residential and commuter corridors like Central Avenue are particularly prone to crashes when drivers speed, become distracted, or fail to yield properly.
