Traffic Collisions in Florida
Accidents like Monday morning’s on SW 3rd St serve as a reminder that even familiar, routine routes can become the scene of a serious crash in a matter of moments. The stretch near The Forum sees steady traffic from both local residents and commercial activity, and the combination of vehicles pulling in and out of parking lots, changing lanes, and approaching at varied speeds increases the chance of collisions.
In Florida, thousands of injury crashes occur each year on city streets, often caused by driver inattention, following too closely, speeding, or failing to yield. Morning rush hour adds additional risk factors, as drivers are often in a hurry, visibility can be compromised by sun glare, and traffic density leaves little room for error.
Practicing defensive driving—such as anticipating the movements of other vehicles, avoiding distractions, and keeping a safe buffer zone—can greatly reduce crash risks.
