Car Accidents in Illinois
Intersection-related crashes, like Saturday’s incident at NE Jefferson Ave and Hamilton Blvd, remain a common source of injury accidents across Illinois. Urban intersections carry high traffic volumes and frequent turning maneuvers, which increase the likelihood of collisions—especially when drivers are distracted or fail to yield.
In Peoria, intersections near downtown corridors often combine commuter traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists, adding further risk. Crashes in these areas not only injure those involved but can also cause significant traffic disruptions during the busiest parts of the day.
