Suburban Roadway Crashes in Wisconsin
Crashes at major intersections like Durand Ave and E Frontage Rd highlight the hazards that come with navigating high-traffic corridors in suburban areas of Wisconsin. These roadways often serve as critical links between residential zones, commercial centers, and interstate access points — creating frequent opportunities for sudden congestion and driver misjudgment.
In Racine County, Durand Ave (also known as Highway 11) experiences steady flow from both local traffic and regional travelers.

For those injured in such accidents, the consequences may extend well beyond the initial trauma.
