Interstate Collision Dangers in Central Arkansas
Interstate 40 is one of the most heavily traveled routes through central Arkansas, and collisions along this stretch are not uncommon. High speeds, dense traffic, and limited time to react can make even minor errors dangerous, especially near mile markers like 139 that experience regular merging and lane shifts.
According to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department, interstates account for a significant number of injury-related crashes statewide. Many involve rear-end collisions, sudden lane changes, or issues related to driver fatigue and distraction.
For drivers traveling through Pulaski County and beyond, maintaining safe distances, obeying posted speed limits, and staying focused on the road are essential. Even a momentary lapse can result in a serious crash.
