Urban Intersection Collisions in Queens
Crashes in densely populated areas like Whitestone often occur at intersections where traffic volume, speed changes, and visibility issues intersect. The junction at 14th Ave and Parsons Blvd is a high-traffic location that serves both residential and through traffic—making it a hotspot for vehicle accidents.
Most urban collisions are caused by a combination of distracted driving, failure to yield, or misjudging the timing of traffic signals. Even at lower speeds, the force of impact at a four-way intersection can cause injuries ranging from whiplash and back pain to more serious trauma requiring hospitalization.
