Urban Crash Risks in Rhode Island’s Early Hours
Accidents that occur in the early morning hours, such as the one on Broad St, often involve unique risks due to reduced visibility, fatigue, and fewer vehicles on the road. In dense cities like Pawtucket, intersections can be particularly dangerous when caution is not exercised, regardless of the time of day.
Rhode Island law enforcement continues to stress the importance of alertness and defensive driving, especially during overnight and early morning travel. Collisions in these low-traffic windows often carry a high risk of injury due to speed and limited reaction time.
